China’s Fashion Revolution: From Mao Suits to Western Chic | SLICE

Discover the world through its people-head to toe-exploring hairstyles, footwear, jewelry, tattoos, makeup, lingerie, and unique accessories.
In China, uniforms are everywhere. Hairdressers, students, volunteers, party officials, and restaurant staff all have their own distinct attire. But did you know Mao Zedong never actually wore the famous "Mao jacket"? While older generations cling to the dress codes of the past, younger Chinese embrace both nostalgia and modern trends-including dressing up as Mao himself.
Western fashion is also making its mark. The white wedding dress, once a bourgeois luxury, is now so popular that elderly couples restage their wedding photos after decades just to wear one.
From the strict aesthetics of the Communist era to the explosion of ultra-liberal consumerism, China’s fashion is a mirror of its evolving society.

I watched through the end. Very interesting. I'm guessing the iPhone I saw here is from 2007. I hope this docu gets an update. 谢谢。
