Qipao, Floating with Oriental Bearings

Qipao had entered its shiniest period since 1920s to 1940s, during which 1930s was the zenith period. Right at that time, Qipao had settled its irreplaceable position on the stage of women's costume as its typical representation. The reformed Qipao emerged in post 1930s period had adopted the western cutting method on structure, to improve the fitness of the body. Therefore, the reformed Qipao quickly became fashionable from Shanghai to all over China.

In 1940s, Qipao came to its golden time. After 1950s, Qipao began to decay. However, as the antique restoration rising up, Qipao returned to the stage of fashion after it had experienced the absence for half-century, with even more taste than years ago. Qipao has been regarded as a formal dress with national meaning for various international social occasions.

Qipao has been divided into Beijing Style and Shanghai Style, both of which represent two individual styles in artistry and culture. The Shanghai style features in absorbing western artistry, with more creation and flexibility and commercial atmosphere. However, Beijing Style has its official style to appear more restrained and lasting appeal. Though only a few women wear Qipao nowadays, the modern Qipao still keeps the traditional appeal in many aspects, showing the beauty of fashion as well, which endow its value for collection.
