Stylists weave together?Chinese and Italian designs

1 At Nanning Museum， located in Guangxi， a surprising black skirt decorated with wonderful ethnic design elements has been a hit， with tourists coming in to take photos. This creation has been designed by famous Italian designer Mossi Borella， and is an important feature of the museums collection.

2 Borellas design is a creative combination of Western fashion art and elements from ethnic groups in China. Drawing inspiration from the complex customs of these groups， he incorporated （融入） their features into the dress.

3 “Before designing this dress， we were inspired by Guangxis Zhuang brocade， and it took me two weeks to choose the color to match the belt pattern. It can be said that we （Italy） make the house of the concept but you （China） made the heart of the house，” said Yosmany Larrea， Borellas assistant.

4 Borella and Larrea share love for ethnic cultures， and they first learned about Guangxis ethnic groups back in 2018. In December 2019， they led a team of Italian designers to Nanning. “I was shocked on arriving at the workshop and I felt like I stepped into a magical land. Weaving skills are good， and Zhuang brocade is beautiful. I also touched the materials. At that time， I hoped to bring Zhuang brocade elements into my design immediately，” Borella said.

5 During the visit， Borella was impressed by the skills of local people in creating brocade and their rich cultural heritage. He felt inspired to incorporate these ethnic elements into his design and share them with the world.
