【ANDROGYNY】 by YEUNG CHEUK YIU, PAMELA

【LOOK 12】

Cheongsam originated in the 1920’s “androgynous” fashion movement which carried on till this age, which is why I came up with this piece that encompass the men’s Tang jacket with the women’s cheongsam that can be worn by any gender. My caplet is inspired by women hangfu’s “Yunjian” (雲肩) and the men’s Tang jacket front “duìjīn” (對襟). I also mixed traditional cheongsam elements like Mandarin collar and contrasting cuffs, with Western fashion styles like bloomers and cover skirt in a HK neon light pattern, to symbolize HK’s unique melting pot culture and vitality.
