Design Process

In 1920's China, the cheongsam (a kind of womanswear) was popular among Chinese ladies, it attracted me to do some research about the silhouette and decided it's the main structure that I am going to develop with. I extended sport element from the daughter's stoicism personality.Sports mean breaking through comfort and limits, so I used the structural design of sport knee pad and elastic fabric to express the idea.It also leads me designed detachable piece to show different length of the dress to show the concept.

I designed two fabric pattern which contain buddhist element and flower with blood to express the heroic moment for her to kill the enemy in the temple. After that I design a big coat with hood for the plot when she have to cover herself as a normal disciple also to hide the gun when going into the temple. After she walk towards to enemy she take of the coat and take out her gun to kill the enemy. I put all of the fabric details inside of the coat so when she takes it off it shows the moment of revange.

Look 2 is the extension fashion project based on the previous research and inspiration. It doesn't relate to the plot but still a big part of the whole idea which is the woman power can break through all of the challenge as long as they are devoted to it.
