The final product :
Traditional Chinese art typically depicted beautiful women in symbolic garments that reflected clothing of the age in which the painter created the work.
Color played a big role in the symbolism of a garment. During the Han Dynasty, cyan garments signified spring, red and yellow represented summer, white demonstrated an autumn setting and black meant winter. Outside of this period, Chinese culture and art relied on three main colors to demonstrate symbolism. Red, associated with good luck, showed happiness and wealth. Thus, women wearing red in art typically had an aristocratic nature. Black signifies bad fortune, however, as well as sin and cruelty. White represents moderation, purity and harmony, and art depicting women in white depicted virtuous women. Alternatively, white could also represent death.
Headdresses remained relatively similar throughout the ages. For example, if a painting showed a poor, lower-class woman, she might wear a cloth wrapped around her head or a hat to block out the sun. Upper-class women often had hairpins or combs decorated with elaborate flowers holding well-decorated fans as a sign of modesty and shyness. The fancier the floral arrangement, the more wealth or significance the woman portrayed held.
The scale of the Head-wear is a statement of empowering the effect of combining the old with the new, the contemporary with the heritage to create piece which implicit the possibility of creating art/ fashion statements in which new grounds can be created to unlimited design creativity.
