The ceremony also highlighted Hu's new qipao series themed on Jiu Zi Li Huo (Nine Purple Li Fire), a concept from Chinese metaphysics, particularly in fengshui and I Ching. It represents a specific energy combination associated with the Fire element, symbolizing transformation, passion, and dynamic change.
Calling the qipao dress a fashion gift to Chinese women, Hu blended fiery red with traditional purple patterns and made it with raised shoulders. This lends the dress some masculinity and embodies the strength and gentleness that modern women possess.
