This cheongsam (qipao) is designed for those who wants to be seen! A bold, maximalist gown that makes no apologies for its richness and fills a room.
Crafted in a vivid royal purple mesh base, the gown is covered head-to-hem in an intricate all-over black velvet swirl and paisley appliqué, each motif edged and filled with gold, pink and purple micro-bead glitter embellishment that catches and throws light from every angle. The result is a fabric that shifts and sparkles differently depending on where you stand, deep and dramatic from a distance, richly detailed up close.
The silhouette is a classic fitted cheongsam (qipao), a structured mandarin collar and cap sleeves both trimmed in hot pink fuchsia piping, with a matching traditional hand-knotted Chinese frog button at the centre front and a subtle teardrop keyhole opening at the chest. The floor-length fitted skirt features a side split lined in hot pink satin, adding a flash of contrasting colour and ease of movement.
Unlike the embroidered styles in the collection, this gown makes its statement through all-over pattern and sparkle rather than placement embroidery — making it a particularly strong choice for evening receptions, banquets, or any occasion where standing out matters.
