This course is designed for learners interested in Chinese culture and fashion. It aims to connect traditional Chinese aesthetics with contemporary fashion practice.

Over two weeks, students will experience a structured journey from understanding to creation. The course begins with an introduction to the history of Chinese dress and key aesthetic symbols. Through hands-on activities such as pattern drawing and Chinese-style accessory making, students develop a practical understanding of Eastern aesthetics. The second stage focuses on application. Students learn personal style analysis and Neo-Chinese styling techniques, supported by research visits to museums and buyer stores. The course concludes with a complete styling project. Under professional guidance, students independently create a Neo-Chinese fashion editorial, covering concept development, makeup and hair, styling, and photoshoot execution.
