This book documents the rise (and rise) of fashion design in
China. Told through the stories of three generations of designers:
those born in the 20s and 30s, who were active before the
establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949; those born
in the 1950s and 60s, when fashion in China was isolated from the
rest of the world and the wearing of "Mao suits" became obligatory;
and those born in the 1970s and later, who are now attempting to
integrate China in to the global fashion industry, not only as
producers of clothing but as designers and marketers as well.
Chinese fashion in the past half-century is a fascinating case
study, given that the country began in penury, isolation, and
political correctness, went through a phase of militant
anti-fashion ideology, and is now rapidly developing
internationally-minded, and eager to challenge the world in all
fields of endeavour. Written by an insider, this book provides a
fascinating survey based on the personal, professional and creative
experiences of the most influential Chinese fashion designers. As
such it will be welcomed by all students of contemporary fashion
and design.
