Chinese fashion elements, such as Chinese coloring, painting, and printing, embroidery technique, blue and white porcelain, paper cutting style, and so on, have been heavily incorporated into modern fashion clothing. More and more world-class fashion designers are incorporating Chinese traditional elements into their contemporary designs. Chinese-style clothing will undoubtedly become a major fashion element in 2011.
People today, whether in Paris, Milan, or New York, adore Chinese-style clothing, particularly that of fashion designers, international celebrities, and super stars. During the 57th Cannes Film Festival in 2004, Gong Li, a Chinese superstar, wore Tom Ford's white Cheongsam. The back, in particular, uses an embroidery technique that reveals a kind of magnificent Chinese characteristics. At that film festival, designer Tom Ford made Gong Li embody both oriental women's taste and western women's elegance. In addition, Fan Bingbing is dressed in blue and white porcelain, Gao Yuanyuan is dressed in Peking embroidery, and Zhang Jingchu is dressed in Dunhuang fresco.
With the launch of the China Promotional Video in Times Square in New York City in 2011, many Chinese beauties wearing Chinese-style dresses will undoubtedly push eastern fashion elements into the world.
Chinese fashion elements have begun to arrive, eager to advance into the world's cutting-edge fashion. Applying Chinese embroidery, binding, knotted buttons, and silk spinning to clothing designs will be a new fashion trend in 2011. Traditional Chinese folk art with a classical subtle spirit, traditional classic patterns and colors, and modern clothing styles will be combined, revealing a strong layering sense of eastern and western culture under the new aesthetic conflict.
