IngenuityisThe Story of Making Chinese Clothes in Hong Kong

The revolution of the brand new Cheongsam takes hundreds of years but it would rather keep its authenticity as it did the very beginning than add some additional features as an original type of ornately decorated costume. Cheongsam and chi-pao are different when being closely looked at-the former is a special form of Chinese men and women's robe peculiar to Guangdong regions at large after years of radical transformations of the western-style chi-pao, while the latter has been a representative symbol of Shanghai to date since it was presented as a kind of popular women robe in 1920s. Cheongsam incarnates Cantonese people's cultures and sentiments especially in Hong Kong where Cantonese people dominate in overall population. Behind the demonstration of the 16 suits of brand new Cheongsam are "e;10+1"e; craftsman's stories-they pass on the handmade craftsmanship from age to age while representing new life of the traditional Chinese costume.
