Once, there was a local reseller that pushed around old wooden suitcases. Inside, were piles upon piles of traditional Chinese qipao dresses and knick-knacks dating back to some time between the 20s and 60s. The menagerie of different cuts, styles and fabrics were a nostalgic reminder of a women’s wardrobe through the seasons. Imagining the spectacular life once led by the owner of these left behind fabric scraps, designers and the public can reflect on the value of old objects and discuss the meaningful role of upcycling by injecting new life into old designs.
