In just the first two months of 2025, we've already seen dongbei dahua (a vibrant, colorful floral pattern rooted in the traditional culture of northeast China) make its mark at two big events on the Chinese calendar. First, it could be spotted in the chic waistcoats worn by the impressive dancing robots at this year's Spring Festival Gala. Then, at the recent Asian Winter Games in Harbin, everyone from volunteers and guests to robotic dogs and even the giant Mr. Snowman was spotted donning the fashionable florals. After its rebirth in recent years, the now-trendy pattern has become iconic in the Chinese fashion world.
