Chinese Tailor According to a survey conducted by a popular newspaper, the people that favor traditional-style dresses are mostly of the "Chinese middle class;" well paid, well educated, and with overseas study or work experience, mostly in the 30-40 age range. "I hungered for the life I saw depicted in Western films when I was a girl. Now I have almost everything I ever dreamed of: a spacious house, quality furniture, and a private lawn. But I am far from content during my leisure time." Wang Xinyi, a 33-year-old senior employee at a foreign company, is troubled by spiritual loss, despite living a lifestyle enviable to most Chinese people. "When I first saw a traditional-style, loosely fitting silk gown, an image of me, in my cozy, spacious sitting-room, wearing this dress while sitting on my comfortable sofa, reading, with a cup of tea at hand, sprang to mind, the whole scenario bathed in a soft orange light of total tranquility. I bought the dress without a second thought." The design of traditional clothes has been much improved. Yu Chenggen, now aged 70, and son of a tailor famous in Beijing in the 1920-30s, complains that such clothes look better displayed than actually worn. But he also admits that younger designers have given traditional clothes a more refined, elegant image. Li Dazhi, proprietor of two traditional clothes shops, insists that he started his business out of personal interest, and that he rejects orders for designs that are at odds with his style concept. All the clothes on sale in his shops are designed and made by Li and his friends. As fine arts graduates, they have a deep understanding of traditional Chinese esthetics, and mix skillfully classical and modern elements in their designs. The result is something like the film, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; one hundred-percent Chinese in foreigners' eyes, and also exotic to the Chinese, but with a distinct style and taste. Li Dazhi has a predilection for slender, fine-boned ladies of classical grace. His designs are mostly in bright colors such as red, yellow and pink, rather than the traditionally dark colors. Transparent textiles and pleated materials are applied to add a touch of vogue to his products. Such clothes best suit girls blessed with classical physical characteristics. In sharp contrast to the up-market clothes it sells, the decor of Li's shop is simple and spartan. In one corner stand two Qing Dynasty wardrobes. Their gilded patterns have faded, but the dark red paint still has a faint sheen. In front of the wardrobes stand a wooden table and chairs in the Qing style. The window display is the proprietor's masterpiece: two traditional ornamental gowns hanging beside a pair of antiquated wooden wheels, beneath two lamps with straw-plaited shades strewn with grass seeds. |
