After looking back on my initial research I decided to pick out two features to concentrate on, which I found intriguing. Both are captured from the Chinese culture, I like experimenting with the art of paper cutting and i think this would be interesting to carry out into how I may translate this to fabric and into my collection.

The other aspect of the Chinese culture which drew my attention was the traditional dress during the Qing Dynasty in China. Which can be known as several different names such as Hanfu, Ch'i Fu, Official Court Robes or Dragon Robe. I find the 'robes' remarkable in the richness it presents and I like the simplicity in the design but still accented with the collar & cuff detailing, making it appealing to me.

So I am now focusing on these two aspects of the Chinese culture for my collection and hopefully the outcome will be extraordinary!
