Reviving the Hanfu, An Ancient Fashion

Gong Pan Pan poses in dreamy colourful dresses, bringing us thousands of years back to ancient China, when the Hanfu was in trend. Now commonly worn during certain festivals and ceremonies, this Singaporean hopes to bring the Hanfu back in fashion, by understanding the history that is woven into these clothes.

Omg! I wish we could bring these back in fashion.

I on the other hand love rocking the traditional hairsticks. So much better than using a hair tie.

As national clothing of one of the earliest human civilizations,   the Chinese HANFU (漢服) is hugely influential to the clothing of neighboring countries such as the Japanese Kimono/Wa-Fuku (著物/和服)， the Korean Han-Bok (韓服) and the OBSOLETE Vietnamese  Áo Giao Lĩnh (襖交領)  (not to be confused with Áo Dài (襖𨱽), which is based on the Tungusic Manchu clothing).

Personally I love hanfu from Qin, Han and Ming Dynasties, especially soldiers uniform.

We’ve lost too much during the 50, 60s thank you for bringing the tradition back.

China was never matriarchal but women definitely had a lot more power before Confucianism.

Did she do Game of Thrones characters, like Daenerys or Sansa or Arya, or maybe the historical ones like Nymeria or Visenya? I'd like to see her take on them <3
