Created to celebrate the Year of the Rabbit, Chinese New Year Bunny represents one of the twelve animals in the Chinese Zodiac.
Her wardrobe was inspired by Qing Dynasty fashion and includes:
A dress (qipao) with it’s classic Mandarin collar and frog button closures
A sleeveless vest, secured at the waist with ribbons and embellished with a ceremonial square rank badge depicting a horned dragon
A front-opening robe with horse-hoof shaped cuffs
A playful tunic with matching trousers (kùzi)
A small pouch (hebao) used to carry personal items
It took almost a year to design and sew Chinese New Year Bunny’s clothes and accessories.
