Summary
Even though we have only scratched the surface by examining China’s clothing and jewelry we have seen how Chinese clothing has evolved from a purely functional item to a creative and expressive tool of cultural identity. Globalization has led to an integration and incorporation of cultures and in China’s case has given us a glimpse into a rich and diverse civilization.
Putting the traditional elements into fashion design not only helps the native culture to extend itself, but also greatly promotes the cultural exchanges in nationalities overall.
