The Mao suit: ideology expressed through dress
Mao Zedong recognised the power of dress to project nationalism and ideology. On 1 October 1949 at the grand ceremony in Beijing marking the founding of the People's Republic of China, he wore a modified form of the Sun Yat-sen suit. Mao had worn this style of suit since 1927 but it was only after 1949 that it was adopted by the majority of the Chinese population. It is known in the West as the Mao suit.

I Looked at the Mao suit and more 'peasant' clothing to try and incorporate into my collection to give it a minimalist feel and to understand it's not necessary to use just elaborate fabrics, all floral and patterned.
