Who said ancient traditions can’t slay on the runway? 💃 At China Fashion Week, models from Guizhou’s mountainous regions turned heads by showcasing intangible cultural heritage crafts like never before! Designers rocked the stage by reimagining Miao batik and Lisu garment-making—think centuries-old techniques colliding with neon hues and streetwear vibes. 🎨✨
One showstopper? A flowing dress dyed using traditional Miao methods but cut like a modern slip dress—cue the audience’s collective ‘wow.’ 👐 These designs aren’t just pretty; they’re preserving history while appealing to Gen-Z’s #aesthetic. As one designer put it: ‘It’s like telling our ancestors’ stories through threads of TikTok trends.’ 📱👘
