Chu Hongsheng was a young apprentice in Shanghai when his white-lace qipao dress for a movie starlet propelled him to international fame. Over a career stretching more than 80 years, he created more than 5,000 dresses, becoming a revered master of the Shanghai-style qipao, with his work even exhibited at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. Before his passing, he was able to pass on his artistry and vision to a new generation of tailors, helping write a fresh chapter in the history of China’s qipao.
