The colours remind me of typical Okinawan patterns & fabrics...

between the cheongsam shapes and the conical hats they are really going for a literal Chinese influence.

The faces in those prints just kill it for me, terrible collection, this is like Anna Sui meets Basso & Brooke.

I'm all for Chinese inspiration but dresses and tops are exactly like traditional or modern qipaos. I could buy those in Chinatown or China for versions cheaper than these. And the hats again, exactly like the old Asian straw hats you see people wearing in the rice paddies.
I see a printed skirt or top that could look good on it's own, but overall it's just so literal and costumey. Such a different collection than I would expect
