In just the first two months of 2025, the vibrant floral pattern dongbei dahua, rooted in the traditional culture of northeast China, has made a significant impact on the Chinese fashion scene. This resurgence was first seen at the Spring Festival Gala, where chic waistcoats adorned with the colorful pattern were worn by impressive dancing robots.
The trend continued at the recent Asian Winter Games in Harbin. From volunteers and guests to robotic dogs and even the giant Mr. Snowman, everyone was donning the fashionable florals. After its rebirth in recent years, dongbei dahua has become an iconic pattern in the Chinese fashion world, blending traditional heritage with modern innovation.
