與新世代一同踏入創新花藝設計的世界
By: Dodo FUNG Kit Yee AIFD CFD
Fearlessly taking a “leap of faith,” our trio, K.K. Loo, Teresa Tsui, and Michelle Lo, showcased their creativity at both local and international floral events. Having successfully completed their PFDE in 2023, K.K. Loo and Teresa Tsui are now being inducted as Accredited Members of AIFD in Orlando, while Michelle Lo stands as a talented certified floral designer of AIFD.
The March 2023 Hong Kong Flower Show witnessed their mesmerizing performance of “In-style Wedding,” leaving an indelible mark on the audience. The originality of their ideas in expressing thoughts deserves special mention, showcasing a level of creativity that captivated the onlookers.
In November of the preceding year, I had the privilege of representing Hong Kong at the invitation of Michael Yu Full, the organizer of the 3rd Bohol International Flower Festival in the Philippines. Grateful to Michael for providing this incredible opportunity, our certified floral designers collaborated with esteemed local fashion designers, creating body flower designs on models, and crafting unique floral accessories. The event resulted in an unforgettable and remarkable experience for our talented trio.
What fuels the passion of these new-generation floral designers? Hailing from diverse professional backgrounds, they all joined the floral basic course propelled by personal interests. Floral design becomes their refuge from the demands of their respective industries, allowing them to express their love for floral art. Throughout their flower journey, they infuse their emotions into creations, and the joy of sharing ideas and works during the preparation for these two events has been palpable. Witnessing their interactions with designers from around the world, I’ve captured every moment, revealing that the floral world is truly filled with love.
Thank you AIFD for providing this writing platform. My sincere thanks to Louisa Lam for her help on this submission. It allows me to describe the feelings of the new generation of designers in this article. I am eager to witness how these new-generation floral designers will continue infusing their emotions and unique appeal into their future works.
他們勇於「冒險」，在香港本土的一個花藝活動和菲律賓的一個國際花藝活動中創造出自己獨特的「可能」。我們的三位學生K.K. Loo、Teresa Tsui成功地在2023年完成了他們的PFDE認證，將受邀成為AIFD的認證會員，並在奧蘭多接受入會儀式。同伴的還有AIFD認證花藝設計師, Michelle Lo.
在2023年3月的香港花卉展上，台上令人難忘的「時尚婚禮」表演給觀眾留下了深刻的印象。他們以獨特的思維表達自己的觀點，這是絕對值得一提的。
去年11月，應菲律賓第三屆薄荷島國際花卉節主辦方Michael Yu Full的邀請，我有幸代表香港參加了這一盛會。我也要衷心感謝Michael提供了這個難得的機會，讓我們三位認證的花藝師能夠展現創造力，為模特兒創作身體花藝設計，並與當地享負盛名的時尚設計師合作創作花藝配飾。這個獨特的活動成為他們難忘的經歷之一。
是什麼讓這些新一代的花藝設計師對花藝設計充滿熱情？他們來自不同專業背景的人，通過自己的興趣首次參加了花藝基礎課程，並繼續學習花藝美學。花藝設計成為他們從工作中放鬆和表達對花藝藝術的熱愛的途徑。在他們的花藝之旅中，他們將所有的情感融入創作中，我目睹了他們在為這兩個活動做準備期間分享想法和作品時的快樂。看到他們與來自世界各地的設計師互動是多麼令人興奮，我記錄下了他們一起享受活動時的每一刻。花藝世界真的充滿了愛，讓我們一起持續綻放吧！
衷心感謝AIFD Focal Points Blog 及Louisa Lam的協助，令我可以這文章敘述新一代設計師的感受。我們迫不及待地期待著看到他們繼續融入自己的情感，為未來的工作帶來創意和獨特的魅力。
