Heyan'er何燕兒 ：「不言不語」也是「布言布語」

30年前，何燕兒創立了她的第一個品牌布言布語，當時她使用的是珍貴的天然面料。她決定保留裁剪後的布料碎片，而不是扔掉它們，漸漸地，她的倉庫里堆滿了這些珍貴的碎片布料。然而，但是當時她還不知道如何利用這些碎布。

1994年，何燕兒在貴州、雲南和西藏等偏遠地區旅行時，發現了一種用舊衣服修補棉被的傳統做法。不同的紡織品被剪成小條，然後重新編織面料。

在過去的三十年中，何燕兒一直致力於創建一個循環使用天然紡織品的微型生態系統。通過她的品牌Mengji Nongga，她推廣使用回收的布料碎片，並幫助一些中國農村裡的婦女增加收入，這種 "永續 "的方式也使服裝保持了其美學價值。這樣，它們就能在時尚界不斷變化的潮流中脫穎而出，同時提供一種可持續的時尚選擇。

何老師不喜歡說話：

所以邀請她做播客，實在有些勉強她做不擅長的事，但是在我看來，她的聲音帶著一種深沉的催眠，卻也充滿力量，當我們聊到為何她的品牌要叫「布言布語」時，她害羞地說，因為她不擅長說話，她所有的表達都在布裡面了，因此，「 不言不語」 也是「布言布語」…

Thirty years ago, He Yan’er founded her first brand, Buyan Buyu, using precious natural fabrics at the time. Instead of discarding the leftover fabric scraps after cutting, she decided to keep them. Gradually, her warehouse filled up with these valuable fabric remnants. However, at the time, she didn’t yet know how to make use of them.

In 1994, while traveling through remote regions such as Guizhou, Yunnan, and Tibet, He Yan’er discovered a traditional practice of mending quilts using old clothes. Different textiles were cut into small strips and then rewoven into fabric. Over the past thirty years, Chinese designer He Yan’er has been dedicated to creating a micro-ecosystem that recycles natural textiles. Through her brand Mengji Nongga, she promotes the use of recycled fabric scraps and helps women in rural China increase their income. This “sustainable” approach also preserves the aesthetic value of the garments, allowing them to stand out amid the ever-changing trends of the fashion industry while offering a more eco-friendly alternative.

Note :
The program is based on a radio show I started in 2014 < BIG DREAMERS >, about transformative life stories. A decade later, as I continue to grow, I deeply believe in the power of the Holy Mother, the source of creation, and the LOVE of the universe. She is inspiration, healing, creation, inclusion, sharing, and liberation. I am willing to be her instrument, conducting interviews with individuals, I look forward to hearing more personal stories of transformation, growth, and wisdom.
