"Lanting Ink Garment" centers on the elegant charm of literati in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, as embodied in Preface to the Lanting Collection.
Style: Improved new Chinese-style stand-up collar with a slanted placket. The stand-up collar exudes dignity, while the slanted placket reflects the free and unrestrained demeanor of ancient scholars.
Material: Selected Gambiered Canton Silk (Xiangyunsha) processed through "three washes, nine boils and eighteen sun-dryings". Its ink color, layered like ink strokes, and subtle patterns (resembling bamboo shadows and water ripples) echo the scenery of Lanting.
Details: Silver thread embroiders variant forms of the Chinese character "Zhi" (之) on the collar or placket. This not only highlights the design theme but also adds vitality, showcasing the elegance of new Chinese style.
