Chinese Dress Motifs. Avec 1 CD-ROM

China has a long history of cloth making, and silk products were already available as early as the Yin Dynasty.
The patterns selected for this book have been collected from the clothing patterns of dynasties past.
These include patterns from the Tang Dynasty, characterised by flower patterns combined with grass and nature motifs, as well as clothing patterns from the Ming Dynasty, which are elegant and exquisite.
To give these special patterns contemporary relevance, the patterns have been adapted, recreated and refined with Adobe Illustrator and kept in a vector format, and can be easily used by designers of any discipline, be it fashion, textile, graphic or interior design.
