Zanami qipao jackets reinterpret traditional Chinese silhouettes through a contemporary and structured approach. Developed with a focus on precision pattern making, each piece adapts the characteristic lines of the qipao into a jacket format.
The designs are defined by asymmetrical closures, often incorporating metal zippers or reinterpretations of traditional frog fastenings, alongside sculpted paneling that enhances the silhouette and fit. Variations in fabric, including denim and textured materials, introduce contrast while maintaining a cohesive identity.
Balancing structure, detail, and cultural reference, these pieces reflect a consistent exploration of form and construction within the Zanami language.
Role: Full responsibility for design, pattern making, and garment construction.
