The popularity of Hong Kong’s cheongsam culture can date back to the early 20th century when politicians, merchants, teachers and students, ladies of prominent families as well as singers, film stars and Chinese opera performers began to wear the dress. With a large number of tailors coming to Hong Kong in the late 1940s, the cheongsam became a fashionable garment that was highly sought after in the 1950s and 1960s. Today, after a century’s passing down and changes along the way, the cheongsam remains hugely popular in Hong Kong. In this talk, you will learn more about the cheongsam for men and women in Hong Kong, including its history, craft, legacy, the change and continuity in terms of social practices, as well as its preservation as an intangible cultural heritage. |
