Inspired by period dramas based in China, oriental elements are included in my current collection: Chinois-Chic.
I was inspired to do this collection "Chinois-Chic" because I watch a tad too much Chinese dramas and whilst watching a period drama based in China, I was immediately attracted to the beauty of Oriental elements and nature as shown in the film. Its a beautiful sight to see springs and mountains accompanied with birds and flowers. They actually bring out the peace and perfection of what Mother Nature left us before Earth started to change drastically. So much so that these elements of perfection and peace are slowly disappearing from the surface of our planet.
Initially, these elements were supposed to be my main source of inspiration for this collection but I decided to tone down the elements and include: mandarin collars / mandarin buttons / jade / lanterns, etc first, and combine these elements with a little of modern chic.
The aim is to bring out oriental + chic.
Simple yet eye catching.
I will focus on the elements of peace and perfection (in my opinion) in the next collection : Chinois - Chic II; in the mean time, I'll spend my time squeezing creative juices out from my little head and perhaps appreciate tea and nature more!
*button up! mandaring collars, button them up!
