变废为宝——引领时尚潮流

Dried turnip is a popular ingredient for cooking. But do you know it can also be turned into a beautiful “flower” used to decorate headdresses? Wang Ping, a photographer and stylist, has “the magic” to make this happen.

Wang Ping, who owns two photography studios, became interested in crafting headdresses in 2020. He found that there wasn’t any headwear that fitted properly with the studio’s costumes. As an industrial art major, Wang is skilled at drawing. So he decided to make them on his own.

Basically, to craft a headdress there are three steps. “First, I do a design drawing. Then, I prepare all the materials needed and construct the framework of the headwear,” Wang said. “The last step is to assemble all materials and paint.”

The basic materials include iron wire, copper sheets, pearls, and fabric. Surprisingly, almost all of them are “waste” as they come from disused clothes. Wang said he had to throw away a lot of headwear and clothes that were out of fashion such as wedding dresses. “It’s indeed a waste and a loss,” Wang said. “So I decided to make the most out of these ‘waste materials’.”
