honoring heritage in the design &production of CHEONGSAM

Proposal for LADECENTE - MING.M Floral Collection

Cheongsam(Qipao)is more than a garment-it is a living expression of Chinese heritage, artistry, and feminine identity. As LADECENTE embarks on the Ming.M Floral collection, paying tribute to women’s strength and grace through floral symbolism, it is essential to preserve and reimagine the heritage that gives the cheongsam its timeless soul.

why heritage matters?

-Artisanal Craftsmanship:Each piece in this collection is an heirloom, shaped by skilled hands. From hand-rolled hems to frog buttons. our garments carry forward centuries-old techniques that elevate the cheongsam from fashion to art.

-Cultural Legacy:by honoring these traditions, we preserve a cultural language that speaks across generations.

-Sustainability Through Timelessness:Slow fashion is the future, by embracing handcrafted methods and natural materials, our production process resists disposability and cherishes longevity- creating pieces to be worn, remembered, and passed on.

-Identity & Empowerment:Our heritage-rooted designs empower modern women to wear their identity with pride. with each cheongsam tailored to express both femininity and willpower, we reconnect the body to its cultural origins and narrative strength.

-A Platform for innovation:Heritage is not limitation- it is foundation. LADECENTE reinterprets classic forms with contemporary expression, merging abstract floral inspirations from Georgia O’keeffe with traditional cuts to speak to today’s woman.
