Both Functionality and personality have curated Chinese fashion. Contemporary clothing has long been used as a signature for power or political affiliation as well as personal style. Imperial dressing ordered by Manchu-Qing leaders gracefully defined the culture of China in the seventeenth century. However—in the twentieth century—the leadership of Mao promised China a communist ethos.
Chinese fashion is currently democratic. The world has offered a diverse narrative of fashions to China through bespoke artistry and exquisitely ready-to-wear. Louis Vuitton and Michael Kors for instance—have department stores in mainland China. Contemporary Chinese designers have hit the fashion world and garnered attention around the world with their sensual and sleek creations. Fashion week was first issued in China in 1997 in order to showcase the collections of native talented designers.
The ultimate luxury Chinese brands that shape the Chinese aesthetic and showcase their collections twice a year include Dancing Wolves, SUN TOMORROW, and Merisis. Vogue China was launched in 2005 under the editor—Angelica Cheung (1966—) aiming to impart fashion, beauty and culture updates to readers.
Amidst the modernity—Chinese flaunt their unique blend of natural beauty and awe-inspiring elegant fashions. China produces fashion especially ready-to-wear in huge quantity and consume world's fashion. The phenomenon offers an endless pursuit of glamour.
