This is a design by Chinese designer Guo Pei. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e891f4ee83f5a004648b73d/1586139950035/tang+dynasty+illustration.jpg Yeh-hsien https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e8a90a306e7117ae534cc7b/1586140043706/IMG_3337.jpg Yeh-hsien I learned after this ensemble was already made, that the center back seam is an essential part of hanfu design - it is a symbol of integrity. Luckily we had included it anyway, in order to lay out the pattern the way I wanted it on the fabric. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e88cf35959bb658fcf8e781/1586139989311/hanfu+1.jpg Yeh-hsien Even contemporary interpretations of hanfu - ancient Han Chinese clothing - were hard to interpret without context. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e89208ea6d99b3f78b8337d/1586139982305/qipao+prom.jpg Yeh-hsien Utah teen Keziah Daum sparked controversy by wearing a qipao to prom - many Chinese people showed their support, but many others were offended by her choice, which seemed to be based mostly in aesthetics based on the teen’s responses. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e88fdaa959bb658fc00ddb8/1586139955915/grace+kelly+qipao.jpg Yeh-hsien Grace Kelly wearing a cheongsam, 1956. I decided not to use cheongsam as inspiration because of it has been used so much in fashion and appropriated so heavily. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e88cb6406e7117ae5f8222d/1586139924050/Chineseart2.jpg Yeh-hsien Looking at Chinese art was not enough for me to get started thinking about Chinese clothing - I found that I did not have the vocabulary and understanding of either the art or the clothing to glean information from ancient paintings. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e88cfa39b6208253a4c8281/1586140006738/Yeh-hsien+silhouette.png Yeh-hsien The silhouette I chose is from a dynasty slightly later than the ones mentioned in the story, but I found it useful because of its reference to bird wings - the ribbons in this ensemble move when the wearer walks, causing the sharp points at the hem to flap like a swallowtail. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e88d43bd7a6d83f2fe8e347/1586140024880/halcyon+kingfisher+painting.jpeg Yeh-hsien https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e88fef83d751119c510d0ff/1586139976055/guo+pei+spring+2019+2.jpg Yeh-hsien Guo Pei’s Spring 2019 couture collection was inspired by the “Palace of the East.” According to the designer, this is not only a building, but refers to Chinese sayings about women in palaces. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e88f94106e7117ae5002628/1586139970875/Tom+Ford+for+YSL+Fall+2004.jpg Yeh-hsien Designed by Tom Ford for YSL, Fall 2004, this dress is inspired by the Chinese garment “qipao” or “cheongsam.” https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e88ce12d84e09477ed9d121/1586139938152/ Yeh-hsien Even contemporary art, which is much clearer by virtue of being new, I found overwhelming. I just did not have the background - words, explanations, contexts - to discern what was important about the garments in paintings and illustrations. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e88efd0959bb658fcfe6e1b/1586139996034/hanfu+3.jpg Yeh-hsien https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e8a963a959bb658fc35699f/1586140802059/IMG_3342.JPG Yeh-hsien https://www.stephaniemaefisher.com/pigling daily 0.75 2020-04-06 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e8917be06e7117ae504eea6/1586140190917/everyday%2Bhanbok.jpg Pigling https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e89031f9b6208253a55473c/1586140122986/korean+art+1.jpg Pigling https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e8a926685dd3a1f81af06f6/1586140228703/IMG_3318.jpg Pigling Rendering for Pigling.

I liked the layers in this chima, which are made of ramie rather than more luxurious fabric like silk. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e8919c1fcc46f5d090559a6/1586140127637/hanbok+photograph+3.jpg Pigling Photographs show very similar styles to what I found in Korean artwork, but both the photographs and the art are from the late 19th to early 20th century. This is around the same time that the story I used, Pigling and Her Proud Sister, was translated into English. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e891785fcc46f5d0904f6a1/1586140197824/contemporary+hanbok+3.jpg Pigling https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e89156be83f5a0046473c1d/1586140185456/contemporary+hanbok.jpg Pigling Hanbok are commonly worn for weddings and ceremonial occasions in Korea, but young Korean women are also finding ways to bring hanbok designs into a more everyday context that works for the 21st century. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e8916a49b6208253a588e67/1586140202635/contemporary+hanbok+2.jpg Pigling There are groups of young Korean people who dress in hanbok all the time, ranging from the very traditional to garments personalized in a wide variety of much more modern ways. Hanbok rental shops offer tourists and enthusiasts the opportunity to wear hanbok for a short period of time while visiting South Korea. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e8903ea138b9761ef922aa5/1586140135056/hanbok+photo+1.jpg Pigling https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e8905fce8170a5ffa0f753e/1586140140448/contemporary+korean+art+2.jpg Pigling https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e89035cfcc46f5d0901eb23/1586140117888/korean+art+2.jpg Pigling Hanbok appear not to have changed very much over time - in many ways, this felt like the easiest clothing to understand of the ones I researched. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e8906d6e83f5a004644d3da/1586140162277/Chanel+hanbok+inspired.jpg Pigling Karl Lagerfeld’s cruise 2015 collection for Chanel took inspiration from Hanbok - exhibitied here in the sleeves. Children’s hanbok often have brightly colored striped sleeves like these. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e891a059355142d1e7ddd11/1586140221544/hanbok+photo+2.jpg Pigling The idea of sheer fabrics is always very appealing to me, and this lends itself to being able to enjoy all the layers of the chima more. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e891a6e776c472b72368bd0/1586140211911/Pigling+Inspiration+2.jpg Pigling Pigling’s clothes for the gala are described as snow-white. I wanted to find ways to introduce texture and interest while maintaining an all white look. White is historically a common color for clothing in Korea, and is associated with integrity, purity, and honesty. These are all characteristics that are pervasive across most Cinderella characters. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e890a039355142d1e7b805f/1586140169001/Lee+Young+Hee+hanbok.jpg Pigling Hanbok interpretation by Korean designer Lee Young-hee.

Later, my reading indicated that many Japanese were eager to take on Western clothing as a symbol of progress, encouraged by national leadership. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e892e8e68e1057e9c1ca221/1586140346318/japanese+art+1.jpg Benizara Though I could discern differences among the clothing in these illustrations, and even in the way the illustrations are executed, initially I had no clue what the significance of these differences might have been, or what time periods they might be associated with. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e892fb71b981f2a96a79e5c/1586140352564/japanese+art+3.jpg Benizara https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e89357ed84e09477eea8394/1586140385289/Yumi-Katsura-Couture-SS19-Paris-2002-1548097705.jpg Benizara Yumi Katsura, a Japanese designer, riffed on kimono in her Spring/Summer 2019 collection for Paris Fashion Week. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e893f8e7de63058bf289e40/1586140430042/ Benizara Usually, the obi should contrast with the kimono, often in multiple ways. Not only did I choose contrasting color for the Benizara’s obi, I chose the sparrow knot. A bird free to fly contrasts with the tree, bound to the earth. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e8a8d9fe37ead7fc58cc34e/1586140450814/IMG_3313.jpg Benizara Rendering for Benizara.

Kimono are being interpreted in new ways all the time, and the Japanese have been happily sharing kimono with enthusiasts from other parts of the world for a long time. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e893eee8c5a9226d7ca2b64/1586140439541/bonsai+kimono.jpg Benizara Most furisode kimono worn by young women are very heavily patterned. I liked the simplicity of this kimono, both because it felt achievable, and because it would help Benizara to stand out in a crowded theatre if she was less heavily decorated than the other women her age. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e89362e776c472b723a87f3/1586140391819/kimono+wedding+dresses.jpg Benizara A company in Japan remakes vintage kimono into Western-style wedding dresses, available for rent. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e893e3879e6836f5fa9fd68/1586140422372/bonsai+tree.jpg Benizara I chose a bonsai tree motif for the kimono because of Benizara’s poem about a lone pine tree. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e8941a29355142d1e8356d8/1586140444609/mompe+pants.jpg Benizara Though I did not fully design Benizara’s everyday look, I was inspired by the 1940s. Women during wartime were encouraged to wear “mompe” pants like those pictured above, and kimono became a rare luxury during wartime. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5c3d57c64611a02cdbd4322c/t/5e8934a385dd3a1f81837262/1586140374883/elie+saab+fall+2019+couture.jpg Benizara Lebanese fashion designer Elie Saab used touches of inspiration from various parts of Asia in his Fall/Winter 2019 couture collection.
