I am happy to take part at the panel discussion at the Qipao Design Competition which takes place December 15 -16 in Anren, Chengdu, China. Artists from the countries along the Silk Road will explore the original beauty in the finery culture of the East, and the elegant Eastern life style with cultural confidence, in order to reinterpret the modern Chinoiserie with a crossover perspective. I am looking forward to this short but intensive trip and will surely discover new inspiration for my work.
