Heritage Skirt Inspired by Qing and Ming Dynasties' Symbolism

Zehui Ni introduces the Hmong Silver Heritage Skirt, a fusion of mother of pearl inlays and Hmong silver craft, inspired by the symbolism of the Horse-Faced Mamian skirts popular in the Qing and Ming Dynasties. The skirt, awarded Silver in A' Costume and Heritage Wear Design Award 2024, embodies sophistication, cultural pride, and timeless elegance.

Popularized by Empress Dowager Cixi and Princess Diana, the skirt symbolizes power, strength, and cultural heritage. Crafted in Changsha, China, the skirt measures 103cm in length, 45cm in width, and 5cm in depth, showcasing intricate pearl inlay and silver craft details.

Designed for modern wear, the Hmong Silver Heritage Skirt seamlessly transitions from casual to ceremonial, inviting conversations and storytelling through its elegant folds. This project, realized through fabric and woven methods, pays homage to the rich history of pearl inlay and Hmong silver craftsmanship.
