To Revolution.

Inspiration so often follows radical change.

Consider Shanghai in the 1920s. Theres been a shift toward egalitarianism following the Xinhai Revolution in 1911. Gender equality is gaining traction.

Eventually, fashion distills these changes into wearable art and the qipao becomes a staple of everyday wear. The original fit is looser than what you see here, but by the 30s and 40s, a new shape emerges.

More form-flattering. The side slits, more daring.

Women add piping, collars, and fasteners to lushly-detailed fabrics.

Beautiful things (new ways of thinking, the most flattering dresses) have a way of holding up, even 100 years on…
