| Abstract | With the dawning of a new era, an old garment takes centre stage. The cheongsam, which has evolved to its present form from robes worn by Manchu women during the Qing dynasty, is now a major fashion force. Renowned designers have been inspired by this traditional gown, while local design labels and tailors offer beautiful cheongsams to wear at smart evening occasions. The author styles five up-and-coming socialites in their favourite Chinese gowns. |
