DESCRIPTION
The “Mourning Lace” Qipao reinterprets the traditional Chinese silhouette through translucent natural latex and intricate black latex lacework.
Cut close to the body, the softly translucent base is framed by sculptural black appliqué across the high collar, asymmetric neckline, shoulders and hem. Traditional-inspired pankou knot buttons trace the diagonal opening, while the elaborate cutwork creates the illusion of antique lace entirely in latex.
Delicate yet severe, the design brings together Chinese dressmaking references, gothic mourning attire and fetish craftsmanship.
PLEASE NOTE
The fine eyelash-style edges of the laser-cut latex lace are extremely delicate and may curl, lift or detach through friction and normal wear. Please handle the garment with particular care and keep it away from jewellery, sharp objects and rough surfaces.
Please purchase only if you are comfortable with the delicate nature and natural wear of this decorative finish.
