An increasing number of Chinese brands are eyeing the global fashion world. During the New York Fashion Week, which opened on Thursday, Chinese designers presented a time travel of aesthetics.

Blending modern trends with ancient Chinese style, the four collections resonated with four eras in ancient China – Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC), Tang Dynasty (618-907), Song Dynasty (960-1279), and Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
