Eight refined qipao looks paired with a pure ivory-white fur coat, photographed one by one in eight late-autumn and early-winter outdoor settings.

The dresses are a mix of long and short qipao. The four long ones are a champagne-gold sequinned mermaid dress, a deep green velvet dress with cut-out sides, a white lace dress with ruffled hems, and a sapphire satin A-line dress with tonal jacquard and gold-thread embroidery. The four short ones are a wine-red brocade with peony embroidery, a blue-and-white porcelain pattern, a peach-pink cherry-blossom print, and a violet gradient dress. Each keeps its high collar, diagonal placket and covered buttons, its high side slits and its fitted waist, with an ankle-length or above-knee hem as the cut requires.

Over every look sits one and the same coat in a single even shade of ivory white: a shaggy long-haired fur, worn open with both front panels turned back so the qipao shows through completely — a short jacket that stops at the waist on four of the looks, and a long coat that falls to mid-calf on the other four. The fur is described the same way each time: dense pile, each tip standing, one pure colour from top to bottom with no gradient.

On the legs, ultra-sheer tights in a colour matched to each dress, drawn continuously from the toes to a flat wide waistband — one single piece, no band and no cuff anywhere along the leg. Shoes are closed-toe pointed stiletto heels in satin, each worn over the tights.

Hair is a Chinese updo with a slim gold hairpin and a fine gold buyao that sways with each movement. The eight settings are: a plane-tree pavement deep in autumn leaves; a ginkgo avenue; a lakeside reed bank in early winter; a red-maple path; a snow-covered Chinese courtyard; a pine forest snow trail; a farmyard with persimmon trees; and an old stone bridge in early winter.
