In the article, the author discusses traditional Chinese clothing evolution from the ancient period to the modern. While the garments’ formal appearance reflects certain social ideals and cultural identity, the drift of garment style inevitably forms and influences the aesthetic of the specific period. With historical and social movement stimulating this drift, modern clothing detached from the traditional form and techniques from ancient dynasties. Most apparently influenced by Western culture, formal robes and dresses were simplified to jackets and pants. However, with the Hanfu Movement, people started to seek reconnection with ancient culture using the garment as a medium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This attempt to bridge the present with the past is intriguing to me that while there’s a chance to revisit the past, it is still possible to celebrate the culture and history by letting it coexist with the modern. Over the recent years, an increasing number of Chinese designers such as Edison Chen strives to elevate the traditional Chinese clothing features using contemporary silhouettes and aesthetics. These designers emerged to bridge ancient and modern aesthetic, history and presence, and forgotten culture and habitual garments by endowing classic garment design new chances to be appreciated and recognized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the appreciation of traditional values penetrating our modern lives, there could be a stronger bond between nation and cultural identity. And there could be a chance where standard garment form keeps inspiring modern aesthetics under a coexisting scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
