Asian Clothing, Costumes & Masks

Asian Clothes are much more than just a fabric piece. Clothing has been used to create and express one’s cultural identity for many years. A garment can symbolize multiple meanings, in reference to culture, gender, and social location. Asian Cloths can hold a variety of signs depending on their form, color, surface decoration, embroidery techniques, and other factors. One example of this is a Chinese Imperial robe from the Qing dynasty. In 1759, a Qianlong emperor reviewed the Qing court attire system.

The dragon robes, particularly, were only worn by those of high rank. Mostly, members of the military and civil service used to dress in these robes as their professional attire. These vintage and antique robes were adorned with motifs such as waves, dragons, clouds, and mountains. Each of the designs holds a specific meaning. For instance, the Constellation of three Stars signifies a source of love and pardon, the five-clawed dragon is a sacred symbol of power, and fire means intellectual brilliance.
