At first, fashion design was unfolded with the course in the academic exchange between Chinese and Korean colleges; as the founder of the Fashion discipline of CAFA, Lv Yue first brought Fashion Art into the teaching course of the Fashion discipline, CAFA, and themed on “takingpaper asmaterial” to showcase the teaching achievement. In 2007, it was the first time to invite the Korean artists to attend the Sino-Korean fashion art exchange exhibition entitled “Harmony” in China; in 2008, on the occasion of the Beijing Olympic Games, the artists from 10 countries and districts jointly held an exhibition themed on “passion”, which internationalized fashion design and caused a wide range of reactions in fashion circles. Following that “Green Attitude” was held in 2010; “Garden Tour” was held in 2012; “Days and Nights” international fashion design show was held in 2013. In the years of the development of fashion design, more than 400 artists from 18 countries attend the exhibitions. The extensive international repercussions helped the fashion design to constantly absorbnew artistic talents, and also develop more artistic possibilities. On the 10th anniversary of fashion design entering China, fashion design does not only play a role in teaching, but also becomes the direction for research and creation of the designers and artists.

As a fashion designer, the work can be philosophy, art, and also commercial so comfortable to wear.It is difficult to separate design and art, and it is a good interactive relationship between static display and the dynamic runway. The static status expresses the pursuit of art; while the dynamic reveals the clever design. It hopes to offer the visitors arich and vivid visual experience, to experience the change of thinking of theworks with different positioning.
