Fashion Revival

Fashion Revival is a series of hybrid paintings that incorporates Qing Dynasty textile patterns into urban clothing and settings. My goal is to showcase the symbolic and cultural meaning of these traditional attires and their relevancy in the 21st century. I use symbolic motifs from the Qing Dynasty’s fashion to explore cultural identity issues and the impact of western clothing in urban Chinese society. Fashion Revival brings attention to how modern society and its norms are shaped by colonization and capitalism. These hybrid paintings are inspired by China’s Hanfu Movement, which began in 2003 and individuals wear traditional clothing to bring awareness about their own heritage. This series includes characters wearing both traditional and modern clothing as a means to explore the struggle of maintaining cultural identity in a globalized world. It empowers modern Chinese individuals to reclaim their history and express their own identities and values through fashion.
