The charm of the traditional qipao or cheongsam is key to the enduring appeal of Khoon Hooi’s annual capsule collection for Chinese Lunar New Year celebration. The latest collection for the Year of the Rat is inspired by the artistry and opulence of the artefacts and antiques of the Chinese dynasties of ancient China. Enriched by sumptuous fabric choices that include printed brocade featuring iconic Chinese symbols like the Crane for longevity and peace; the Magpie or “xi que’ for happiness and Peonies from the Ming dynasty; sophisticated brocade and silk organza.
