Outline
I. Introduction
The Chinese women fashion trend has a significant change over the years coinciding with the
social level, fashion sense and most importantly the message and how a Chinese woman wants to
show herself in the society. The Chinese women fashion has faced various influences from the
western world and the current world trend on the fashion line. Though most fashion designers
tend to retain the Chines traditions by maintaining the various arts in their fashion the style in
creating the clothes has also changed significantly. The trend in Mao era is very different to the
current Chinese women fashion a situation that has changed opinions and impacts in the society
of Chinese people.
Thesis Statement
“Does the deviation and transition of Chinese women fashion have an impact on the postmodern
world?” The truth is obvious looking at the impact the transition is causing to Chinese traditions.
I agree to the fact that the western influence is the cause of the fashion transformation and effects
of the current dilution in Chinese women fashion traditions.
II. Body
Ancient Women Fashion
 Ancient Chinese clothing varied with a different dynasty that symbolized their tradition,
religion, social class, and was a form of identification (Finnane, 44).
Surname 2
 The women clothing was respected and chosen as it represented a woman role in a
society and the image they created for people. For instance, during the Qing Dynasty era,
women had unique clothing traditionally known as Han Chinese that got characterized by
inlaid collars and full sleeves (Finnane, 39).
Current Chinese Women Fashion
 The current direction in which the Chinese trend is taking has been greatly influenced by
other cultures, other religions, and the world current fashion trends. A dilution of the
traditional aspect and significance that cloth played during the ancient dynasty era is
evident (Moyer, 25).

Surname 3
 In an urban center like Shanghai, the western looks are more appreciated and embraced
because many people prefer brand names and the western outfits (Moyer, 49).
III. Conclusion
Exertions have been made and are continuing to restore the old tradition clothing such as hanfu
by the hanfu movement. In 2001 during the Asia-pacific Economic Cooperation Summit held in
Shanghai the tangzhuang jacket which is a silk embroider was presented as the Chinese
Traditional national outfit.
