Under the exchange and collision of different cultures, Chinese designers get inspirations about how to absorb the essence of modern fashion and combine those elements of their homeland to their products, making them shine on the international stage.

As the Spring/Summer 2019 runway comes to an end at China Fashion Week, it's time to take a look at the 7 fashion trends that emerged along this way.

Embroidery, as a traditional handicraft with nearly 3,000 years of history in China, is also a common embellishment for high-end clothing in the world. In this China Fashion Week, embroidery tends to be more elaborate, fashionable and more skillfully decorated on the apparel.



Except for the traditional patterns, the designers also get inspirations from Chinese ink painting, which adds an extra retro vibe and brings a color impact and flowing beauty on their designs. Keep scrolling to see how it works on different outfits, especially the silk maxi dresses, jackets or pants.



With the irresistible aesthetic perception, ruffles are getting a major update in a stereoscopic form. The stereo construction not only breaks the monotony of the fabric but also gives the look a unique and dynamic rhythm.

Opt for ruffles, fine embroidery, beautiful prints that add a little extra adorning to your spring collections.

The below brands choose a more minimalist look with a maxi dress that looks good on everyone.

All fashion savvy ladies know how to present their sexy appeal in a casual way. It's best to get dressed from the crochet / hollow out dresses. Think: crochet details and an overall white, but elegant appearance completes with slits or fringed design, which is definitely the best graceful look in your new wardrobe.

There are plenty of crochet options to choose- upgrade your office-wear for a crochet white blouse and black pants/ midi skirt, it all felt like a welcome office surge.

Or complete your street ensembles with a hollow-out detail, which really takes your look to a new territory with an oversized hoodie dress done in a pop of yellow and blue.

The adorning details, like a work of art, are rich in visual impact and texture, making the costume more high-grade and luxury. And for those who prefer something a bit more subtle, there were statement beading dresses at J.Queen, 绝设•朱光妍, which fully explain this trend on the runway.

Cheongsam or Qipao, a traditional Chinese costume, are given a modernized update for the 2019 woman. Designers loosen the silhouette of a standard Qipao and change the stiff mandarin collar to V-neck, crew neck or common stand collar to make it look more casual, as I told you in < When Chinese Fashion Meets Modern Fashion>.

Meanwhile, they also give a hint of newness to the Pankou designs (an essential button decorated on Qipao), making them more novel, extraordinary but without losing an retro vibe.
