In collaboration with Gestalt Whole Person Development Co. Ltd, this event introduced the development of Chinese clothing, outlining its evolution from the pre-Qin period through the Han, Tang, Song, and Qing dynasties to modern times. It highlighted that the Hong Kong cheongsam has been designated a national intangible cultural heritage since 2021. The event also transformed the traditional cheongsam concept into a creative and unique style, encouraging students to promote Chinese culture. Finally, students brought their self-designed cheongsam fabrics back to school to share with classmates and teachers.

​
