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.

Two weeks ago, I have written an article to introduce our Chinese folk art: Embroidery, The Beautiful Handicrafts In Chinese Culture. Today I'm going to show you the other traditional art in Chinese history: paper cutting.

As another traditional folk art which has a long history in China, paper cutting is loved very much by domestic. This artistic form can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, expressing our hopes and wishes to nature, culture, and life. Ever since comes a festival, people have the custom to stick paper-cuts on windows.



If a happy event comes, people also use paper cuttings for decoration. Most of the designs are auspicious, such as mandarin ducks, magpies, dragon, phoenix, and peony, all representing good luck, good fortune and happiness.




Paper-cut has a broad mass basis in China and it blends into the social life of all ethnic groups, which is a significant component of a variety of folk activities.

Designers are good at combining this Chinese traditional art with modern fashion. They absorb the beauty and soul of embroidery, blending the eastern and western style into the modern fashion of oriental flavor. Thus, more and more excellent vintage embroidered clothing, embroidered jeans appear in different fashion shows.

And for the past few years, paper cuttings also attract more and more attention. This Chinese traditional esthetics is becoming the beautiful "scenery line" in the modern fashion stage.


As a Chinese girl, I love Chinese traditions and cultures and I sincerely hope that such fine traditional culture can be carried forward by our generation.
