The Role of Asian Fashion

Dominated by Chinese, Japan, and Korean, Asian Fashion has been acclaimed for its traditional and eastern style. Ordinary people may be more familiar to mention this as oriental fashion. Made from bright, silken, and astoundingly-designed soft fabrics, this fashion is said as having uniqueness that can attract million people, not only for eastern country, but also western country.
Though it is said that the influence of Korea, Japan, and Chinese play an important role in giving the characteristics of Asian Fashion, but other eastern countries such as India, Arab Saudi, and Indonesia are also do the same thing, though it is not as wide as East Asian countries’ influence in style. In the first appearance, Asian Fashion seemed to have limited market; it only been marketed around East Asia countries. However, as the era becomes more modern, it has been widespread across countries and continents until now it can be accepted and adapted to the western countries.

For Chinese, it has been said that today there isn’t any significant change in the style of its traditional costume. What we really know about Chinese fashion is their traditional clothing Cheongsam, or Qipao, which ancestor is the Manchu ethnic minority.
It is very popular among people in the world because of its simple and straight design that makes the people who wear it feels more pretentious and elegant. Some people may believe that Chinese style is ever after Asian Fashion






B. Japanese Style

Harajuku Fashion Style

We may still remember several years ago when Japanese style of Harajuku has a good reputation and has so many followers around the world. It could be the glorious time of Asian fashion that is acclaimed in the entirely global fashion. It is because its uniqueness in giving freedom of style through unusual costume that makes people, usually teenager, are fond of and delight in applying their Harajuku style. But, it was the past time. Now, Korean style seems to have beaten the Japanese fashion style as the most influence in the Asian Fashion, though it is not entirely true since Korean style is more similar to western style rather than eastern one.




C. Korean Style: The Leading Style of Asian Fashion
Since Korean designers have been known for its good reputation in the Fashion world, we may not realize that their journey into being acclaimed as Asian Fashion is quite long. Since their fashion market is only restricted around their country, especially South Korea, they faced difficulty in spreading their own stylistic design. But, that was the past condition. Now Korean Style has reached its peak in the Asian Fashion. As the leading of Asian Fashion, its existence cannot be separated to the growing of K-Pop or Korean Pop which has good ratings in some countries. For this reason, people around the world are introduced to the style of Korean fashion and it gets nice responds, especially from teenager.
After becoming teenage favorite, now Korean Fashion seems to be ready to hold a competition with other western countries such as America or Italy. It is not impossible since its fabrics and style of design are not by far of global standard that may potentially compete to western countries. That’s why, we do not have to be surprised if finally Korea becomes the center of Asian Fashion
