"To embrace the future with inheritance", modern textiles have transcended traditional concepts, finding increasingly extensive applications not only in aerospace but also promising ventures in large-scale aircraft manufacturing and even the biological realm. From serving "Beidou" with the "star-loaded antenna metal grid" to pioneering the use of "semi-rigid battery substrate glass fiber grid" as a key component in solar sail panels, from textile artificial blood vessel coating stents to the marvel of fibers that emit light without requiring a power source, and the innovative creation of low-carbon polypropylene fabric from regenerated meal box materials with initiative... Donghua's "weaving" power showcases a splendid synergy of "technology and mastery", brilliantly on display at the grand exhibition. Simultaneously, Donghua University's emerging designers showcased 60 original pieces divided into three chapters: "Tracing Origins","Deep Cultivation", and "Envisions", employing cutting-edge digital media technology to create a dynamic fusion of past and present in a captivating fashion show.
