broadcaster, located in New York City, with reporters around the world.
NTDTV held their inaugural Han Couture Global Design
Competition, Sunday October 19th, 2008, in The Prince George Ballroom
in NYC.
Han Couture reflects the style of dress of China's
ethnic Hans dating back thousands of years. It's defining
characteristics are unique collar and lapels;
wide flowing sleeves; and the use of a sash in place of buttons. The
look is refined, reserved, and noble. Han Couture reached its peak in
the Sui and
Tang Dynasties, with its influence also present in today's Japanese Kimono, and Korean Hanbok. (Information provided by NTDTV).
Designers from China, Malaysia, France, Australia, Canada, South Korea, and Taiwan submitted their designs for this event.
This
site showcases just a few of the more than 2,000 photographs taken
during the event. Please click on the designer's name to view their
work.
Enjoy.
