ChineseTraditional Clothes
Influence in Western Fashion
Chinese fashion
The first one is
Hanfu, which is
divided into
informal, formal
and court dress.
Generally, all
three types have
in common wide
and voluminous
sleeves and a
very loose fit.
Because of the
relatively plain
design,
ornaments were
used at the
collars and
sleeves to
decorate the
garments
Darker colors were much more
favored than lighter ones in
traditional Chinese clothing so
the main color of ceremonial
clothing tended to be dark while
bright, elaborate tapestry
designs accented. Lighter
colored clothing was worn more
frequently by the common
people for everyday use.
There are 3 main kinds of Traditional Chinese clothes
Hanfu
Mao
Suit
.
Qipao
Hanfu is the traditional historical
clothing of the Han people in
China. It was worn by ancient
Chinese dynasties for millennia
from 1600 year BC until XVII
century. The other title of it is
the Silk Robe. This name is
justified by the main feature of
the garment – a huge loose robe
that wrap around the whole body.
Hanfu has a really rich history. In 3
millenniums it has endured a lot of
developments. It takes its roots from
Shang Dynasty (1600-1046 BC). During
the Zhou Dynasty (1046-256 BC) it has
became looser, with the introduction of
wide sleeves and jade decorations hung
from the sash which served to keep the yi
(shirt) closed. The yi was essentially
wrapped over, in a style known as “jiaoling
youren”.
Hanfu of Zhou Dynasty
(1046-256 BC)
Hanfu of Tang Dynasty
(618-907 AD)
Ruqun is the traditional
Chinese attire for women.
It consists of a blouse (Ru)
and a wrap-around skirt
(Qun)
The first type is Informal Hanfu, which can be both
male and female. It had many variants, as it was
developed during the time. At the pictures is depicted
Shenui (Ming Dynasty 1368-1644) - a kind of full-length,
one-piece robe, which links the upper garment and lower
skirt together to envelop the body. Here the two parts
are cut separately but sewn together at the waist in a
kind of a belt. They are called Yi (shirt) and Shang
(skirt).
.
Wedding
Costume
Yuanlingshan - a
round collared robe
used for official or
academicals dress.
Only those who
passed the civil
examinations are
entitled to wear them.
(Ming Dynasty
1368-1644)
The next type is Formal
Hanfu. Formal Hanfu was
worn only at certain special
occasions like important
sacrifices and religious
activities or by special people
who are entitled to wear
them such as officials and
emperors.
Daopao/Fusha is the
traditional Chinese
attire for men. It is a
form of formal wear in
the Ming Dynasty
(1368-1644)
. It is a full-length robe
with side slits
beginning below the
waist
Wedding
Costume
The Chinese associate certain colors with specific seasons.
Green represents spring, red symbolizes summer, white
represents autumn, and black symbolizes winter. The
Chinese are said to have a fully developed system of
matching, coordinating, and contrasting colors and
shades of light and dark in apparel.
Red is favorite for most Chinese people since
Red symbolizes good luck. Chinese people prefer
to wear red when they are celebrating some
important festivals or events in their life, such as
wedding ceremony.
Mianfu - the emperors‟
ceremonial enthronement dress.
(Han Dynasty 206 B.C.-220 A.D.)
The Court dress is
now obsolete in the
modern age, but it
still could be an
inspiration for
Tang
Dynasty
Court dress
Hanfu Influences
Because of the China’s essential economical and political
influence throughout the Asian countries, its culture was also
spread to another Asian regions. It concerns the national costumes
as well.
Some countries such as Vietnam have traditional garments that are
similar to Hanfu. Other Asian countries' traditional costumes, such
as the Korean Hanbok and Japanese Kimono, do have some
differences from Hanfu. Compared with the Japanese Kimono,
Korean traditional dress is much more similar to Hanfu. Hanbok,
have been heavily influenced by the Chinese due to the extensive
cultural exchanges between the neighbouring countries. In contrast
to China, traditional Japanese and Korean dress have not been
affected by similar changes like in China and thus have retained
many core elements of the original Hanfu.
Today for the Chinese Han the Hanfu is of great importance.
It is not only a part of wardrobe, but a significant part of history, that
represents an ancient legacy.
Qing Dynasty
national clothing –
Qipao
Manchu
national
dress
Therefore, the long
sleeves covered the
hands, for warmth
and for propriety,
as showing the
hands was
considered impolite
during that time.
Original Qipao presented a dress with a
round neck and a panel crossing from
left to right, fastening at the side with
five buttons and loops. Two side slits
allowed freedom for walking and
horseback riding. The Manchu Qipao
was worn with trousers; the
embroidered edges of trousers could be
seen through the slits in the skirt.
Nevertheless, both garments
influenced each other. So Qipao
inherited the collar from the Han’s
women’s jacket which became higher.
All the women concealed their figures
and wore Qipao regardless of age.
It should be noted, that it was
inappropriate at that time to show any
part of woman’s body, except for the
face.
The material of the Manchu Qipao was
heavy satin, silk or jacquard fabric with
complicated decorations. The Qipao was
usually embroidered with flower patterns,
or trimmed with Western lace. The gowns
were generally ankle-length, except for the
time when young women were about to get
married and noble women in royal palaces,
who wore heels as high as three inches,
requiring longer gowns.
At first Qipao was no so popular among the Han Women. The reason
lays in the historical demand for women: girls from six years were
forced to have their feet bound with long strips of cloth, that were
slowing down the growth of their legs. Manchu people (Qing
Dynasty, 1644-1911) were fighting at first with this cruel method, but
then paid little attention to it. That’s why Han women were ashamed
to wear Qipao, because they were unable to imitate those of the Man
nationality, who wore shoes with high soles and looked erect and
elegant in qipao. Thus, for three hundred years the qipao belonged
literally to the Qi girls and women.
Changes
With the freeing of Chinese girls from this evil social
custom in the 20s of the last century, qipao gradually
came into vogue. Girl students and female
correspondents put on this type of dress and came to
be looked upon as representatives of "the modern
female sex". Audacious girls reformed this dress in the
30s and 40s of the 20th century. They shortened the
sleeves and widened the slits in the lower part of the
dress. They did away with the long trousers which
females of the Man nationality had been obliged to
wear. Thus their naked arms and legs were exposed to
the eyes of males, who looked at them with wonder
and admiration.
So The Qipao underwent numerous changes in style after its first
appearance. The cut of the Qipao changed constantly, as Chinese
women's dress became much more subject to fashion than it ever
had been before. The changing Qipao from the traditional Manchu
loose garment to the modern Qipao is shown at the pictures above.
But in spite of all changes, one characteristic remained the same – a
mandarin collar, which symbolized even in the 1990s Chinese
clothes.
Mao Suit
•At the beginning of the XX century Chinese men gradually abandoned the
former tangzhuang jackets and loose long gowns that had been worn for
thousands of years in China, and put on the neat, close-fitting Western business
suit or Mao suit (known in China as Zhongshan suit, named after Dr. Sun Yat-
Sen). Mao suit became little short of the national dress for Chinese males after the
founding of the Republic of China (1912, and the typical image of a Chinese
student or politician then was in a Mao suit. Business suit was soon widely seen
worn by businesspeople in such big metropolises as Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Chinese fashion
The coolie hat is a conical shaped hat with a chin strap. The materials of a coolie hat could be
straw, silk or any other material. The hat with a round crown and upturned brim with a flaring
edge is from the Qing dynasty. Saint Laurent adopted a little round brimless scull hat to add to
the Chinese effect of his design.
The Chinese parasol (oil paper umbrella) is a type of paper umbrella that originated
from China. They are usually made from
paper or silk with bamboo ribs. It was later adopted by Japan and Korea and also
introduced to Western countries via the Silk Road. is a type of paper umbrella that
originated from China. It subsequently spread across Asia, to Japan, Korea, Vietnam,
Malaysia, and Laos.
Earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and pendants
are another examples of Chinese
accessories. They are usually made from
jade, wood, lacquer, and cloisonné. Designs
such as dragon, bat, and crane, appear
frequently to symbolize power, blessing and
peace.
The Chinese style umbrella or parasol appeared in American Vogue 47 times.
The use of parasols were seen in photographs of live models showing John Galliano's Chinese look for Dior in July
1997. The small parasol is decorated with Chinese style motifs, which adds a strong eastern effect to the
ensemble.
Chinese fashion
The accessories such as jewellery, hats, fans, umbrellas, hair styles have a great effect on dress appearance.
There were multiple peaks, with the highest point in 1979. It gained such popularity that they were no longer
considered exotic items. Some Chinese influenced jewellery appeared in advertisements.
The fan became an essential accessory to women's dress. The
fan took place from China and later appeared in Japan and
other far eastern countries. The fan was adopted in Europe in
the sixteenth century. It was not only a fashionable feminine
ornament , but also became a personal statement .Karl
Lagerfeld, a Famous fashion designer, who always wears
sunglasses and carries a folding fan when he appears in
fashion shows.
Fans often worn by Western women add some exotic mood
to the design .
Chinese influenced makeup refers to
Peking Opera style make-up. The particularity of
this makeup is very exaggerated Asian eyes
Several celebrities were photographed wearing
Chinese influenced dresses. Famous fashion model
Heidi Klum showed her gorgeous dragon gown in
the issue of October 2004 . Among the eight
celebrities who were wearing Chinese influenced
evening dresses, Gong Li and Nicole Kidman both
walked the red carpet wearing Ford‟s dragon dress
and Michael Obama in a chiffon and velvet gown by
Jason Wu.
Linda and Esther Chang , the daughters of Korean
immigrants who came to the U.S. in 1981 and opened up a
store called Forever 21 in Highland Park, California.
Both sisters joined the family business after attending Ivy
League schools and helped turn the company in to the
country’s 122 biggest company. Linda runs the marketing
department and Esther looks over graphics and store
displays.
Fashion Awards, comprised of fashion retailers, journalists,
and more than 450 designers, awarded Richard Chai
(menswear), Jason Wu (women’s wear) and Alexander
Wang (accessories) as best new designers of the year.
China has carried out well-known
International Fashion Fair, such as China Fashion
Week 2013, MODE Shanghai in 2013, held in
Shanghai,and the spring-summer session the week of
Hong Kong Fashion Week for Spring / Summer 2014,
which held in Hong Kong. Now the word "Chinese"which
had often been used to refer to
low product quality, gradually loses its
negative value.

  • 11. Therefore, the long sleeves covered the hands, for warmth and for propriety, as showing the hands was considered impolite during that time. Original Qipao presented a dress with a round neck and a panel crossing from left to right, fastening at the side with five buttons and loops.

At first Qipao was no so popular among the Han Women. The reason lays in the historical demand for women: girls from six years were forced to have their feet bound with long strips of cloth, that were slowing down the growth of their legs. Manchu people (Qing Dynasty, 1644-1911) were fighting at first with this cruel method, but then paid little attention to it.
