Nowadays, cheongsam’s mandarin collar is being applied to various kind of fashion design and has become a collar sewing technique that every tailor must learn. Italian designer Pierre Cardin claimed that cheongsam gave him lots of inspiration in his work. Western celebrities have worn cheongsam to the red carpet. It is probably the only garment that is capable of emphasizing the curvature of a woman’s body without exposing too much skin. Cheongsam nowadays is indeed the most representative wear of the oriental beauty, but it might also be the most reflective garment, which precisely represents the feministic and political struggles in the past 100 years throughout China’s history.
