Dolce & Gabbana at Milan Fashion Week Fall 2012

Amazing Disney Art By: MeoMai(: ♡

I LOVE this fashion, but do you know of any ways this style can be incorporated into a more modern way...?

Great question! First of all, I’d like to point out that wearing hanfu does not require fancy hair, makeup, or accessories - it can be worn casually as you would any other clothing.

That said, there are many ways to incorporate hanfu styles in a more “modern” flavor. You can always mix-and-match hanfu separates into your usual wardrobe. There’s also an entire offshoot of hanfu called “hanyuansu/汉元素”, which refers to designs that utilize elements from traditional hanfu. Here are some of my suggestions/inspiration for incorporating hanfu style:

1) Shortening sleeves and/or hemlines can produce a more “modern” look.

2) Layer on a Beizi/褙子 (jacket) - Beizi are extremely versatile, and come in all lengths and materials, for all seasons. (note: the pics below are “hanyuansu”; real hanfu doesn’t have modern pockets)

3) Put on a Banbi/半臂 (half-sleeve jacket) or Bijia/比甲 (sleeveless jacket) - Similar to Beizi, but with shorter/no sleeves, these can be worn like cardigans/t-shirts/vests. 1st row: banbi, 2nd row: bijia.

4) Hanfu skirts - Try wearing a hanfu skirt with your outfit. Left: Ming Dynasty-style, Right: Tang Dynasty-style.

5) Song-style pants/宋裤 - These pants were popular with women during the Song Dynasty. Try adding them to your outfit. (note: the right pic is a modified, “shorts” version)

6) Doupeng/斗篷 (cloaks/capes) make a nice accessory during the colder months, and come in various lengths and designs.

These are only just a few ways to incorporate hanfu elements; there are a lot more ideas and designs out there. I hope this helps in providing inspiration :)

Imperial Guard Officer Horse Grenadier Sword

Dated: 1811

Maker: Lefevbre Paris

Culture: French

Measurements: overall length 1.17m; weight 1.964kg; weight without scabbard 1.28kg

The sword features a brass and leather scabbard similar to the second model for the Horse Grenadier troop sword. This particular model could have also belonged to the Empress’s Dragoons or to an officer of the Cuirassiers since the steel blade is straight and not curved. In any case it did belong to an Heavy Cavalry Officer from Napoléon Army. It is marked with the manufacturer’s name “Lefevbre Paris”, while the scabbard tip is marked "ND”.
