The Spring Banquet collection is inspired by "The Lady's Living Room" article, reflecting the intellectual gatherings of the Republic of China era. The hostess, celebrated for her intelligence and aesthetic, inspires the collection named "Ailing," influenced by her wearing Qing dynasty attire in a photograph, aiming for a noble air.
The primary section of the cheongsam features authentic silk velvet. A blend of subdued grass green and intricately patterned flowers in deep purple—colours steeped in history—creates a look that is timeless yet vibrant, avoiding any sense of being old-fashioned. This material, resting on a base of pure, plush silk finished with brocade velvet, provides a delicate feel. When light hits the silk velvet, it reveals a gentle, enigmatic sheen that is utterly enchanting, far surpassing the allure of standard velvet.
