If you’re a fan of the traditional Chinese dress called
qipao, you’d want to meet Janko Lam, a fashion designer and also founder of Classics Anew, a brand that
began with upcycling end-roll fabrics into qipao. It all started with her job
at the costume department of a local television station, where she fell head
over heels in love with the traditional dress.
What makes Janko’s qipao different, so much so that it won
an EcoChic Design Award in 2010, is the contemporary touch. From patterned
fabrics one would easily associate with qipao to denim, Janko is a master of creating
qipao of various cuttings and styles to meet the fastidious needs of fashionistas.
But if you wish to jazz up your normal office attire with a hint of qipao-style
too, Classics Anew is where you’ll be spoilt for choice.
How many ‘likes’ for this young lady’s respect for and
preservation of the quintessential Chinese culture?
