"Jin" on the Silk Road: The Global Journey of the Horse-Face Skirt

“锦”绣丝路——马面裙的世界之旅

Using the traditional Horse-Face Skirt as a medium, this film documents the journey of ICH designer Zhou Jin in promoting Chinese traditional culture globally. By integrating cultural symbols like the 24 Solar Terms into her designs, she launched the “Ambassador’s Wardrobe” project, dressing nearly a hundred ambassadors and diplomats in Chinese brocade to convey Eastern blessings. From a full-house fashion show in North Macedonia to the international stage of the Cannes Film Festival, the skirt captivates global audiences with its exquisite craftsmanship and the philosophy of harmony between man and nature. It highlights how youth weave a bond of civilization, allowing the Eastern aesthetics of Jinan to transcend borders.
