Several hundreds years passed, Chinese patterns and traditional handcrafts (Embroidery, Paper-cutting, Origami, Chinese knot...) are more and more applied in all kinds of products by luxury fashion brands, once again. Compared to the 18th century, nowadays it is much easier to communicate different culture concept through sharing media all over the world .

  • A Cultural Biography of Red-White-Blue, from Hong Kong to Louis Vuitton Wessie Ling
    A bag of remembrance: A cultural biography of Red-White-Blue, from Hong Kong to Louis Vuitton Wessie Ling In: Reggie Blaszczyk and Veronique Pouillard (eds.), European Fashion: The Creation of a Global Industry, Manchester: Manchester University Press, pp. 283- 301. Stamped with its renowned logo, could the 2007 Louis Vuitton laundry bag – a replica of the ubiquitous plaid plastic carrier bag – be an ironic visual pun in response to the countless Chinese market stalls that had relentlessly ripped off their infamous ‘LV’ design? With its little-known origin in Hong Kong via Japan and Taiwan, the striped polyethylene material of the laundry bag, or migrant bag, was first used for burlap type sacks or tarpaulin in the construction industry of Hong Kong, where it was subsequently made into carrier bags. In the 1970s and 1980s, plaid plastic carrier bags were often used to transport food and necessities from Hong Kong to mainland China through Shenzhen, the first city after crossing the British-Chinese border. Today, it is the plaid carrying bag that continues to be used widely in China and throughout the world. Commonly known as ‘Red-White-Blue’ in Hong Kong, the bag is imbued with symbolic meaning associated with the ‘local spirit’ of an industrious, trading city built by a ‘hardy and hard-working people’.1 In Hong Kong, the bag is emblematic of the city’s colonial days and serves as a potent symbol of an ever-changing city that seems to be perpetually under construction. The shortage of land and rising property prices in Hong Kong restricted the cluster of small producers of Red-White-Blue bags, who could not expand to develop economies of scale.

    Ipsos Flair Collection China 2012: the resolute spirit of the Loong. NOBODY’S UNPREDICTABLE China 2012: the resolute spirit of the Loong. Ipsos editions July 2012 © 2012 - Ipsos ⎡Guide ⎦ Ipsos Flair: understand to anticipate Flair is about instinct and intuition. It’s an ability to capture the mood, to perceive the right direction, to know when to act… To give our readers this advantage, Ipsos Flair presents Ipsos’ vision of a country and its people. Launched in France in 2006, and in Italy since 2011, the Ipsos Flair collection has now gone beyond Europe – to China. By encapsulating our expert perspective on consumers, Ipsos Flair can drive winning strategies at an operational level. But our readers will also benefit from another view – one that considers the results of surveys to be sociological ‘symptoms’, indicating the real relationship between consumers and brands, advertising and media... Ipsos is uniquely positioned around six major specializations: advertising; marketing; customer & employee satisfaction; media; public opinion research; and survey management. By bringing together these diverse, yet complementary, perspectives, we can explore the many different facets of an individual, be it a consumer, a citizen, a spectator, or an employee. Every day, Ipsos products collect thousands of pieces of data from quantitative and qualitative surveys. These support our insights and recommendations – but they also reveal an ‘image’ of a society, of a country, its culture and values. We believe that the shift in people’s attitudes, behaviors and opinions are the result, the product, of various phenomena, including: the general situation of the country; their feelings about their lives; their confidence in the future; the role of technology; and their access to communication.

  • Cultural Flows in the Digital and Beyond: the Potency of a Symbol in Mainland China
    Cultural Flows in the Digital and Beyond: The Potency of a Symbol in Mainland China Justine Poplin A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) College of Arts and Education Creative Arts Victoria University Melbourne Australia Supervisor: Dr Sue Dodd Associate Supervisor: Associate Professor Dr Tom Clark 2017 Abstract In the twenty-first century, access to a fragmented global culture through online portals has created what Bauman (2011) calls a ‘liquid culture’. As screen-mediated ways of being grow and propagate through our art galleries, museums and online social media feeds, how are we to read this emergent visual grammar so that we can motivate, move or elevate our ways of knowing? This thesis explores the symbolism created in mainland China in 2009 through an emergent and retained set of subversive symbols: the Grass Mud Horse lexicon in Chinese visual culture and beyond. To date, theorists have focused predominantly on internet memes, independent of other multimodal forms generated and transitioned from symbolic online internet memes to offline symbolic use in art and design. I investigate ways of deciphering and articulating these visual gestures through accessing cultural keys. I claim that the new symbolism generated as a result of internet censorship in mainland China demonstrates a generational and ideological shift; it does so through the creation and propagation of new visual grammar in twenty-first century China. To scaffold my claims, I explore an overview of historical changes in the visual articulation of Chinese culture. The use of Mao Zedong as a symbol in art and design clearly illustrates a shift from veneration to subversion.
