HANGZHOU, China, June 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, the Business of Beauty Global Forum, hosted by The Business of Fashion (BoF), one of the most authoritative fashion media in the world, came to a close. Florasis is the first and the only Chinese beauty grand has bee invited to BoF. Images from Matteo Prandoni, Rowben Lantion "From not being recognized when I first ventured abroad 20 years ago, to gradually gaining attention, and now being beloved, it is not only due to my personal efforts, but also the energy emanating from my work, which reflects the increasingly prosperous and powerful China behind it." A well-known Chinese fashion designer once expressed such emotions. Undeniably, in the wave of brands going global, there is already a group of brands with distinct Chinese features that represent Eastern aesthetics and have successfully entered the world stage. Chinese brands are playing an increasingly important role in the global fashion industry. Since its inception, the forum has only invited globally renowned beauty brands, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators, without any Chinese brands being invited. However, this year, a Chinese beauty brand -- Florasis made its debut at the forum. China First and only beauty brand being invited In the field of beauty and fashion, BoF is widely renowned. BoF is dedicated to providing original fashion business news and the most authoritative analysis of the fashion, beauty, and luxury industry intelligence. It is a daily must-read for industry leaders both domestically and internationally and an essential source of information for executives, creatives, students, and entrepreneurs. In the fashion industry, it is referred to as the "industry bible," "the Economist of fashion," and "the most influential fashion website in the world". The Business of Beauty Global Forum is a fashion industry summit organized by BoF, bringing together leaders, entrepreneurs, leading retailers, experts, and innovative financial institutions in the beauty and fashion industry to focus on the latest industry topics. This forum has invited 47 industry professionals, including Jane Lauder, Executive Vice President of Enterprise Marketing and Chief Data Officer at Estée Lauder, Jean-André Rougeot, President and CEO of Sephora Americas, and Cécile Lochard, Chief Sustainability Officer at Guerlain. During the forum, representatives from leading global beauty and fashion companies, entrepreneurs, and executives jointly conducted a two-day in-depth discussion on the current situation and development direction of the beauty industry, finding growth opportunities, and how to build customer relationships. Notably, the presence of domestic Chinese brands has been observed for the first time at this year's forum. Gabby YJ Chen, Global Expansion President of Florasis, presented the Eaastern culture and aesthetics embodied by the Florasis brand under the topic "What does beauty mean today?" to the global beauty industry. It is worth mentioning that Florasis is the only Chinese beauty brand invited to the forum since its inception. Practice is the basis for authority As the first and only Chinese beauty brand invited to participate in the forum, Florasis shared the stage with Estée Lauder and other industry leaders to voice their opinions on the beauty industry. Why? Any theory or concept gains credibility and authority when it is grounded in practical application. In fact, since the launch of its international expansion strategy in 2021, Florasis has already sparked a global trend of pursuing "Chinese makeup" and "Eastern aesthetics," using cosmetics as a medium and culture as its foundation. BoF's invitation for Florasis to participate in the forum was based on Florasis' influence among global beauty consumers and its representation of unique and charming Eastern culture and aesthetics. "At the beginning, as a Chinese brand that had only been established for a few years, Florasis did not plan to go global so quickly," Gabby shared the opportunities and journey of Florasis' overseas expansion during the forum. Looking back on Florasis' expension journey, Gabby shared a story: last year, a Japanese TV production team believed that the artistic quality of Florasis products perfectly matched their needs. They hoped to use Florasis' Floral Engraving Phoenix Makeup Palette and Engraved Lipstick as makeup products in their TV drama. This made Gabby realize that "Florasis' Eastern culture and aesthetics have a shared understanding and uniqueness worldwide. Florasis hopes to convey this beauty, which originates from Eastern culture and is combined with global fashion trends, to everyone, injecting new vitality into the diverse world of beauty. In fact, our products and its inside Eastern culture and aesthetics have been widely welcomed by consumers worldwide." After two years, Florasis' products and the inside Eastern culture and aesthetics have gained widespread recognition from global consumers. According to Gabby, "Last year, our products satisfaction rate for sales outside of China exceeded 96%, with a return rate below 1%." As of now, Florasis' overseas social media accounts have a total of over 2 million followers, and consumers from more than 100 countries and regions have purchased Florasis' products. It is worth mentioning that unlike most Chinese brands that initially target Southeast Asia when expanding overseas. Since Florasis began its global expansion in 2021, over half of its overseas sales have come from highly developed beauty markets such as the United States and Japan. In fact, unlike some domestic Chinese brands that adapt to local customs in their international expansion efforts to accelerate brand awareness and sales conversion, Florasis shows no compromise in promoting Eastern aesthetics. For example, Florasis' signature product, the Blooming Rouge Love Lock Lipstick, features an embossed design depicting a love story from over 2,000 years ago in China - Zhang Chang painted eyebrows. Nowadays, overseas consumers of Florasis are also familiar with this story-During the Han dynasty, an official named Zhang Chang would spend time every morning drawing eyebrows for his wife, which caused him to be late to meet the emperor. However, when the Eemperor learned of the reason behind his tardiness, he did not punish Zhang. This incident not only became a popular tale of the time, but also became one of the classic stories of Chinese people expressing their love implicitly. As Gabby said, "If Florasis doesn't engrave this story on lipstick, this story would only remain in the history textbooks for Chinese students." Today, through the Blooming Rouge Love Lock Lipstick, Florasis has brought this unique Chinese love story to the world. Indeed, the journey of Florasis' overseas expansion can be considered as its process of exporting Chinese cosmetics, Chinese quality, Chinese culture, and aesthetics to the world. From the various examples mentioned above, apparently for Florasis, whether it is actively promoting the brand's international presence or participating in this forum, there is only one goal - to make classics recognized by modern world and to make the Eastern culture recognized by the world. Building the Chinese fashion system With the development of global economic integration, it is a trend for Chinese brands to go global. If a Chinese brand wants to tell a story to the world, it must first establish a deep relationship with the world, and only by establishing a position in a certain field can we seek better development. From the perspective of the fashion industry, where beauty products are located, the international fashion discourse system has always been dominated by the West. In this situation, it is of great practical significance for Chinese local fashion to seek fashion discourse power globally. As a fashion industry insider pointed out, fashion symbols and cultural values are often achieved through brands. Apparently, as the only and first Chinese beauty brand to participate in the BoF forum, Florasis' journey of going global not only proves the quality and charm of Chinese brands but also brings traditional Chinese culture to overseas markets, making Chinese and Eastern beauty recognized by the world. The Florasis brand's design, which is deeply rooted in Eastern aesthetics, has also won over many overseas consumers, reflecting the potential of Chinese aesthetics to become an international trend. "Over the 5,000 years of history in China, the unique beauty of the Eastern culture has been nurtured. Florasis is undoubtedly a model that perfectly combines modern aesthetics with the beauty of traditional Chinese culture," An experienced industry insider commented on Florasis. From consumers to the beauty industry, fashion media and national news and information agencies, the global influence of the brand has been widely recognized. Historically, every adjustment in national strength has brought a shift in cultural centers and fashion centers. With the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, there is a global craze for Hanfu (traditional Han Chinese clothing), cultural relics, and intangible cultural heritage. Traditional Chinese culture is systematically gathering a torrent of values, showcasing the accumulated heritage of five thousand years to the world. As important carriers of cultural communication and fashion development, fashion brands such as Florasis, Li-Ning, and Bosideng, which are highly distinctive in Chinese style, have bravely gone global while steadfastly choosing to integrate Chinese culture into their brand innovation and design innovation. They have taken on a leading role in building the Chinese fashion system on the world stage. Undoubtedly, the shift in fashion discourse power is not something that can be achieved overnight. However, it can be foreseen that with the gathering of new forces represented by Chinese brands like Florasis, and the promotion of the construction of a Chinese fashion discourse system rooted in Chinese culture, there will be a revolutionary change in the global fashion industry development landscape.
Let the Flowers of Youth Bloom Let the Artistic Creativity Flow HANGZHOU, China, June 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Brain Garden – The 5th Zhijiang International Youth Art Festival 2023 & CAA Graduation Season kicked off online and offline on June 1. This edition of Youth Art Festival is co-hosted by Zhejiang Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Zhejiang Provincial Department of Education, Zhejiang Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, Publicity Department of the CPC Hangzhou Municipal Committee, China Academy of Art (CAA), and Zhejiang Conservatory of Music under the guidance of the Publicity Department of CPC Zhejiang Provincial Committee and Hangzhou Municipal People's Government. The festival features a wide variety of online and offline artistic shows and activities centered on the future and the youth. It is a grand city-wide artistic feast in Hangzhou. The Youth Art Festival is presented online on CAACOSMOS and West Lake Sky Screen and offline at six venues, namely Zhejiang Exhibition Hall, West Lake Art Museum, Zhejiang Art Museum, World Tourism Museum (1368 Xiangxi Road), Quan Shanshi Art Center, and Yichuang Town, with a total exhibition area of nearly 70,000 square meters. Over 3,000 works from more than 2,500 Class of 2023 graduates (including 1,766 undergraduates, 688 masters, and 97 doctors) are showcased. Over 2,000 young artists, designers, writers, and scholars have gathered online for this youthful art event. This is a city-wide cross-sectoral youthful creative event as well as a program of public art education for all. A Self-iterated Youth Art Festival, Inspiring the Young Generation with Art CAA Graduation Season is dynamic. CAA was the first to hold a Graduation Season open to all Hangzhou citizens in 2010 and upgraded it to Zhijiang International Youth Art Festival in 2019, a festival celebrated across the whole city. The Youth Art Festival allows the graduation season to be enjoyed by all outside the campus, inspires the public with art, integrates the school into the city's development, and shares learning and teaching results with the public, showing CAA as an "Unwalled Academy". This is exactly the original aspiration or vision of CAA. Themed Veni, Vidi, We Young, the inaugural Youth Art Festival took place in 2019, presenting young people's interactive worldview as well as their wish to interview the world. The Second Youth Art Festival in 2020, themed Being with You in the World, provoked a rethinking of human lifestyles amidst the pandemic. The Third Youth Art Festival in 2021, themed Prestory, was a rethinking of Being with You in the World. The festival presented a serious dilemma – "everything is interconnected; all beings are alone." We got lost and trapped in a health crisis and were facing new issues and challenges of bioethics in the digital age. With the theme of Vital Force, the fourth edition of the Youth Art Festival in 2022 called on young artists and designers to devote themselves entirely to life in the present, and champion the positivity, tenacity, openness and sensibility of life with artistic creativity and goodness, generating a force to lead a "positive life". The theme of the new edition of Youth Art Festival is Brain Garden. The garden represents an age of innocence envisioned by humans. On all lands of dreams, be it the Garden of Eden, the Arcadia, Utopia, or Marco Polo's "Xanadu" of Kublai Khan, flowers bloom everywhere, everything goes well, there are neither conflicts nor sufferings, all things live in harmony and people are free and happy. An educational institution is certainly a garden. Learning in an art academy is not an experience of carefree roaming in a garden, but a journey of working with nature and growing with beauty. In an era where human brains and machine brains simulate each other, and human intelligence competes with artificial intelligence, art has become a "brain garden": pathways diverge, and complexities intertwine, with infinite computing power and boundless creativity... In the post-pandemic era, amidst the turbulence of excessive generation of AIGC, we call on everyone to nurture their own "brain garden" and summon forth the arrival of spring. Let the flowers of youth bloom and let the artistic creativity flow. Every edition of the Youth Art Festival showcases the works of young CAA artists in the city with the expectations of basing artistic creations in reality and comprehending humanity for society's sake. A Mixed Reality Show Linking the Virtual and Real Worlds The opening ceremony of Brain Garden – The 5th Zhijiang International Youth Art Festival 2023 began at 19:28 on June 1 at Wulin Square, Hangzhou. In 2023, ChatGPT swept the human world and AI set off a new technology revolution. As the brain-computer interface technology advances, the boundary between the virtual and real worlds is getting blurred. The opening ceremony started with an AIGC video entitled Oddinary, indicating that humans have stood at a crossroads in a new era of intelligent civilization. At the MR opening ceremony, AI Garden led people into an exploration of a future created amidst the intertwining of human beings and technology in the era of AI, enabling the pursuit of dreams and ideals without constraints. Reading the Topology of Dreams in the midst of reality and virtuality, people explore the virtual world built by humans as true Creators. Audiences have the chance to enjoy the fashion show with hyper-audiovisual scenes at the Metaverse Art Academy (MAA). At the opening ceremony, the guests put on a brainwave device to start Lian Xiang – one of the artworks for the show. When the signal is re-encoded by AI technology, a garden gradually appears in the human brain, turning it into a theater for people to unleash creativity. Over 80 works from 46 students in Fashion and Apparel Design at the School of Design, CAA are showcased in the fashion show. The designers created their works with an open mindset and expression ways from multiple dimensions, placing emphasis on frontier exploration results in art, philosophy, science and technology while paying attention to topics such as survival crisis, cultural alienation, social care, body language, emotional barriers, and future testing ground. The interaction between virtual and real worlds, exploration of experimental materials, creative knitting texture, and technologies such as 3D printing all have become paths leading designers in a great journey of exploration and design. The processes from identifying clues, making records, carrying out experiments, and making summaries to finally turning ideas into real works have demonstrated the designers' true inquiry into the real world and their imagination of the future world. CAACOSMOS, an Art Community in the Metaverse CAACOSMOS, an online art community of CAA, was debuted on April 8, 2023, as part of the academic events commemorating CAA's 95th Anniversary & 2023 CAA Launch Day. CAACOSMOS is an art community in the Metaverse and an innovative and interactive platform for global artists and designers. It integrates online exhibitions, information, courses, lectures, forums, workshops, livestreaming, digital asset right confirmation and AI tools to help people navigate a digital life, digital interaction, art creation, and value transformation.

The School of Intermedia Art exhibits more than 200 works of 73 undergraduates and 34 postgraduates. Themed "World Giants", the graduation exhibition presents the profound changes in our relationship with the world and inspires young creators to expand their minds and meditate on their souls and the outer world. Composed of several sections including "The Silence of Currents", "Artificial Art Intelligence", "Across the River and into the Forest", "Creation Continent", "Motivation", and "Into the Sound", the show adopts diverse mediums such as live performances, video installations, power devices, miniatures, and monument installations, depicting diverse themes and presenting a great combination of intermedia art expressions.

The works from the Department of Visual Communication Design demonstrate the uniqueness and possibilities of graduates in exploring the interplay between tradition and innovation, the integration of humanities and technologies, the solution of social issues and the extension of art expression. The works from the Department of Dyeing, Weaving and Fashion Design are focused on areas of research such as sustainable material design, smart textile design, digital textile design, healing design and oriental design, presenting the designers' true inquiry into the real world and their imagination of the future world. The Department of Industrial Design has worked closely with businesses and co-built the "〇一 Workshop", depicting various future scenarios in respect of life aesthetics, digital interaction, intelligent manufacturing, and smart mobility. The School of Design & Innovation exhibits 192 graduation works. Under the sub-theme of "Cooperator", the designers provoke discussions on the cooperation between art and science, cooperation between AI and humans for co-creation, cooperation in biological evolution, cooperation in social design, as well as cooperation in culture, economy, and history. The school's five institutions, namely the Research Institute of Society & Strategy, Research Institute of Media & Interaction Design, Research Institute of Intelligence & Systematics, Research Institute of Enterprise & Prospect, Research Institute of Science & Creation, explore the human experience and complex systems of art and technology across various domains, showing diverse design practices as a prelude to future graduation exhibitions. The School of Painting expresses its desire for the blossoming of new life after the three-year pandemic, through paintings on "New Life in the Garden". The School of Sculpture and Public Art channels its reflections on the transformation and evolution of the individual and society and its desire for exploring the unknown through "Nomadic Seeds". The School of Art Administration and Education responds to the idea of "Life Is Education" with "Vital Force 6.0: The Harvesting of Things Invisible" and unveils a path toward self-realization. The School of Arts and Humanities showcases its students' graduation theses in "Visual Paths" and represents textual research as images. The School of Crafts showcases a multi-faceted narrative on the research and learning practices of its young students in "Fire, Hands, Craft", in which it compares the lengthy cultivation of skills in materials, crafts and plastic arts to the repeated tempering of an Erudite Craftsman's character and mind. Wang Shu, the Dean of the School of Architecture believes that the most pertinent challenge of our times is the preservation of diversity. "Championing Diversity" thus forms the core of his school's academic ethos. The School of Film Art explores the contemporary development of poetic cinema through the perspective of youths. The School of Animation and Games aspires to reimagine a new form of perception that bridges the real and virtual worlds as it explores and creates new realities and ways of thinking by harnessing diversity and free play. The EDNA Joint Institute (NACAA) showcases designers' meditations and creations in differing Chinese and French cultural contexts in "Transborder Creation". CAA's Youth Art Festival has helped to fully unlock the power of art and innovation, inspiring young people with art and facilitating efforts to make the city of Hangzhou, which blends tradition and modernity, a destination and spiritual home for young artists worldwide and a world cradle of cultural innovation in the post-pandemic era. The Unwalled Academy has started a new journey from Hangzhou.

虛實整合、導入 AI 的混合溝通工作模式持續作為最火熱的關鍵字！全球專業視訊溝通領導品牌 IPEVO 愛比科技（股票代號：6858）今日宣布推出 AI 驅動的旗艦級新品 TOTEM 360 沉浸式會議攝影機，頂規明星級產品整合多項視訊溝通所需功能於一機，為專業工作者在混合溝通時代裡的聲音與影像體驗推升至全新境界。 愛比科技總經理李信宜表示：「很榮幸和大家分享我們正式推出的年度旗艦級產品 TOTEM 360 。集 TOTEM 系列各產品優勢之大成，我們成功在單一產品中加入多種專業工作者在視訊溝通中所需要的功能與模式，是我們去年進軍商用視訊會議市場後的重要里程碑。未來 IPEVO 將持續透過產品創新與更極致的視訊溝通體驗，讓更多人能不受到視訊設備和環境的限制，打破溝通隔閡，隨處轉換各個角落為會議空間，在疫後時代裡溝通無礙。」 旗艦級視訊設備重磅登場！ AI 聽聲辨位、 360° 沉浸式畫面，一機暢享無死角視訊體驗 視訊會議持續在疫後的商務溝通中扮演要角，研究報告指出，未來將有近兩成的商務旅行被視訊會議取代，故是否能配備規格完善的視訊設備，將成為企業組織能夠順利進行商務會議的重要關鍵。 為了提供專業工作者最佳的商務溝通品質，TOTEM 360 充分整合高品質的聲音及影像技術，使用者無須再煩惱雙方聽不清楚、或看不到發言者的狀況，一機在手就能擁有宛如置身現場的頂級沉浸式溝通體驗。使用者在說話時，TOTEM 360 內建的 360° 揚聲器，加上自動降噪的全向性收音麥克風，可以進行高靈敏度的「 AI 聽聲辨位」，自動追蹤聲音的來源和方位，大幅度強化聲音清晰度。此外，透過四顆鏡頭縫合拼接技術、加上全景 5K 高解析度，TOTEM 360 得以延展出寬廣平整、人像不失真、不變形的 360° 環繞會議畫面，不論聽覺還是視覺上都能輕鬆享受 360° 零死角的溝通體驗。 一機在手，什麼都有！四大模式輕鬆切換，最完整功能旗艦機玩轉視訊溝通新時代 IPEVO 最頂規的旗艦級視訊攝影機 TOTEM 360 設有「會議」、「簡報」、「混成學習」、「全景」等四大不同模式，加上便於攜帶的輕巧設計，讓使用者能一鍵切換不同使用情境，輕鬆玩轉視訊溝通！ 根據情境不同，若使用者參與的是人數較少的小型會議、或是主講者較少的講座，可透過「簡報模式」以更加聚焦的畫面和視野，創造如同面對面的互動交流；若企業或團隊需要進行中型會議，切換至「會議模式」能將畫面取景自動分隔成上下兩部分、清楚辨別發言對象，會議中若有多人輪流發言時， TOTEM 360 也能夠經由 AI 畫面捕捉技術，將畫面聚焦於發言者。而在大型會議規模的「全景模式」時，則具備雙邊各 180° 的寬闊視角，讓所有與會者都能完整入鏡。而除了商務溝通外， TOTEM 360 也可應用於多元學習的場景，無論是在教室、教育訓練空間或大型的會議廳，都能使用「混成學習模式」來讓畫面上方自動聚焦正在發言的教師或演講者，下方呈現所有學生、聽眾的畫面，打破線上線下的隔閡，享受沉浸式的學習環境。 實用與時尚感兼具！展現科技美學精神，TOTEM 360 頂尖設計勇奪海內外多項大獎 除完善的功能與頂級的規格之外，憑藉輕巧的外型及獨特的科技美學設計，TOTEM 360 已獲多項國際級大獎肯定，除了拿下日本優良設計獎（Good Design Award），近日亦獲得設計界奧斯卡獎 - 德國紅點設計獎（Red Dot Design Award），透過「以人為本」的直覺設計，完美升級視訊溝通品質，更讓世界看見台灣。 產品與銷售資訊 TOTEM 360 沉浸式會議攝影機即日起將在各大零售通路販售，建議售價為新台幣 22,990 元。消費者欲了解更多 TOTEM 360 相關資訊，請參考 IPEVO 官方網站，或經由代理商正成貿易的 CS Emart、經銷商佳能國際的官方網站，以及多個電商通路 momo 購物網、PChome 24H 購物 、蝦皮購物、Yahoo 奇摩購物中心等平台購買。 TOTEM 360 沉浸式會議攝影機的產品規格與特色： 台灣設計 解析度最高可達全景 5K 採用四鏡頭拼接影像技術，無縫拼接 360° 視野，畫面平整不失真 具有 AI 降噪功能、波束成形麥克風 4 顆，最佳收音距離 5 公尺 內建 360° 音訊擴散揚聲器 機身重量為 575 克，體積輕巧可隨身攜帶 使用 Type-C 連接方式，相容於各大廠牌的視訊軟體相容於 MacOS、 Windows 作業系統及 Chromebook 相容於 Zoom、Google Meet、Microsoft Teams、Webex、Skype、GoToMeeting 等視訊應用軟體，以及無線投影系統 Barco Clickshare
