Chinoiserie is the interpretation and idyllic representation of Chinese and East Asian culture. The word derives from “chinois,” the French word for “Chinese.” The style movement is characterised by its romanticised, theatrical and playful perceptions of life in the Far East.
I was inspired to team the chinoiserie style with the male form while still incorporating the iconic blue and white pallette.
