Chinese clothes -- QiPao(1)

Chinese-style clothing developed 2,000 years ago is making a comeback. Today, more and more people wear Chinese-style clothing at evening parties, at formal meetings, in the office or even on the streets. However, the simple Chinese-style clothes of olden times have been updated and beautified. Today, fashion designers use traditional and modern ideas to create new Chinese-style clothing fashions.

The production of Chinese-style clothing became an industry in a modern sense in the mid-1990s. After a decade of development, Chinese designers have become more mature, and a number of brands have built up their market status, such as Mu Zhen Liao, Shanghai Xu, Ge Ge, Su Luo, Pu Yu and A-You. However, the industry's growth depends heavily on designers who are usually unknowledgeable when it comes to business administration. Consequentially, most of the companies failed to get market share quickly. And dresses suitable for business and daily wear are still very rare. It will take a long time to foster a stable clientele base, because people usually purchase Chinese-style clothes at random according to insiders.
