As a part of Chinese Culture Talk, a series of culture talks and fashion shows chaired by Chinese veteran designer Chu Yan were held in South Africa on March 30-April 1 and Mauritius on April 3 -4.
Chu introduced the historical evolution and latest developments of Chinese costumes through the series. She showed the works of modern Chinese designers who were inspired by ancient frescos and paintings.
Based on intensive studies of traditional culture, the new generation of designers created stylish costumes with a fusion of traditional Chinese colors while incorporating a spin on technology and modern art.
