Chinoiserie style in clothes

In the new season, there is an abundance of fringe, floral prints, ornaments, silk with velvet, feathers and embroidery. Many of the sleeves on the outfits are distinguished by the presence of the shape of a Chinese pagoda. The style of "chinoiserie" has become relevant again.

This style is an interpretation of European art, as well as fashion, interiors, which are borrowed from China. So, after the 18th century, screens decorated with paintings, tables covered with varnish, decorative umbrellas, fans, porcelain with silk actively began to appear in the premises of wealthy people after the 18th century. All this cost a lot of money, because the craftsmen began to manufacture special fakes in the chinoiserie style.

Poiret Paul is the man who designed the cropped silk kimonos. He also decorated robes with hieroglyphs and medallions, and used cord loops as an addition. A tunic called "lampshade" is another of his inventions. The designer is considered to be the author of the costume of a Chinese magician for one ballet.

The motifs of the Chinese conical duoli were used to create the popular Dior collection in 1947. The designer showed hats in this style at his shows. His subsequent works are dresses "Hong Kong", "Blue China", "Chinese Night" and others.

The subsequent autumn and winter seasons were distinguished by an abundance of Chinese-style costumes with ethnic accents. In the summer of 2014, the Asian theme was supported by the Gucci brand. So fashionistas could purchase oriental-style costumes with prints made from silk. Silky kimonos and short dresses were decorated with beaded embroidery, stand-up collars, and national scarves.

Many collections from Elbaz, Van Noten and Dolce & Gabbana were overflowing with clothes with a Far Eastern flavor. Chinese prints, characteristic colors were used here, and free-cut pants, kimonos were also provided.

China is still considered very popular today. Yellow color in this case is the most relevant. Chinoiserie should definitely be brought into Western fashion.
