Thanks for posting sisiwong - I'm awestruck by the second look in post 9, aka 'what McQueen saw'

 

[sisiwong]

the chinese folk era i'm interested in is late qing all the way to 80s under communist rule. i like the padded chinese peasant jacket look and how the children dress with many colourful layers. also the tribal minorities in china and their crafts/costumes. any pics?

Maybe you mean these

Late "Qing" dressing is hardly 'Chinese' then. What is nominally regarded as 'Chinese' dress - Qi Paos and the like - is really Manchu national dress forced by decree onto the Han populace.

 

[sisiwong]

yes , you ar e right

 

[sisiwong]

But manchu is also a minority of chinese folk

There aren't really specific designers, many of these photos are costumes from TV shows (equivalent to medieval times flicks I suppose)..

Since its traditional/ancient dress you probably won't find Qi Paos in a store because those dresses are meant to fit every millimeter of your body perfectly. but you can go to a tailor who specializes in these to create one for you, you can choose the style, materials, trim, etc..

However, theres always "Shanghai Tang" (www.shanghaitang.com) who specializes in selling mass produced ancient Oriental clothing, home objects, novelty items etc. They will also tailor a specially made Qi Pao for you, but much more expensive of course. Not sure if they are in China, but there is one in admiralty or central in HK for sure.

Hope this helps
