This design ties several iconic old-HK elements together using a fresh and young perspective; the yin-yang mandarin collar and knot button are decidedly cheongsam style, while the mini skirt is definitely western. The highlight of this piece is the unique drawstring sleeves that are inspired by traditional elasticized work-sleeves worn by HK factory workers and hawkers in the 1970s.
