Art Deco “Golden Fan” Brocade Mamian Skirt

Description

Step into quiet opulence with the Modern Ming Golden Fan Brocade Skirt — Maritime Edition, a reimagining of the mamianqun (马面裙, “horse-face skirt”) that merges Ming dynasty weaving heritage with Art Deco geometry.

The intricate fan motif, woven in misted teal and pale gold, draws inspiration from both the gilded brocades of Ming China and the rhythmic symmetry of early 20th-century Art Deco design. This dialogue of East and West pays tribute to Singapore’s historic role along the Maritime Silk Road — where artistry, exchange, and craftsmanship converged.

Each pleat captures light like waves over metal leaf, echoing the jin (织金) weaving techniques of Ming-era gold brocade. The result is a piece of understated grandeur — structured yet fluid, architectural yet wearable.

The design features an adjustable brass buckle closure at the waist, with a 3 cm adjustable range for comfort and fit. In the spirit of modern practicality, discreet side pockets are seamlessly integrated into the panel design, maintaining clean lines while offering everyday functionality.

For added security during outdoor wear, buttons may be added to the front and back panels discreetly on the inner layer (additional $20) to prevent the skirt from lifting in the wind.
