Meet the American teen who’s bringing ancient Chinese fashion to the world.
An American girl from Boston has developed a deep passion for hanfu, the traditional clothing of the Han people, China’s largest ethnic group. Spanning a history of nearly 3,600 years, hanfu is experiencing a revival among young people both in China and abroad.
Drawn by the elegance and rich history of hanfu, the Boston native began researching and showcasing these traditional garments. Through social media and cultural events, she aims to promote understanding and appreciation between the United States and China.
“I fell in love with the intricate designs and the stories behind each piece,” she said. “Hanfu is not just clothing; it’s a living piece of history.”
Her efforts have garnered attention from peers globally, inspiring many to explore hanfu and other aspects of Chinese culture. By blending traditional attire with modern sensibilities, she hopes to build bridges between the two countries and encourage cultural exchange among youth worldwide.
