Nine winter looks built on the Ming dynasty hanfu silhouette: a stand-collar jacket with a slanted front opening, layered under a long cloak or hooded cape trimmed with fur at the collar, worn over a mamian skirt with a smooth front panel and deep pleats falling at either side.

The palettes run through nine sets. A scarlet jacket under a crimson-gold brocade cloak with a thick white fox collar, over a navy mamian skirt with gold thread across the front panel. A lotus-pink jacket under a moon-white satin cloak with a silver-grey fur collar, over a cream pleated skirt. A stone-blue jacket under a dark green velvet cloak with a deep brown sable collar, over a deep teal mamian skirt. A white jacket under a lilac hooded cape with a soft rabbit-fur hood edge, over a pale grey pleated skirt.

An apricot jacket under a stone-blue brocade cloak with a silver-grey fur trim, over a moon-white mamian skirt. A deep red jacket under a black cloak with a faint woven pattern and a silver fox collar, over a deep purple mamian skirt. A cream jacket under a navy brocade cloak with a narrow blue-grey fur edge, over a deep blue mamian skirt. And a white jacket under a deep purple brocade cloak with a silver-grey fox collar, over a silver-grey mamian skirt.

The jackets are cut from firm silk cloth with a matte surface and fastened at the throat by a single small button. The cloaks and capes carry a dense brocade or velvet face, some with gold thread worked through the ground, the fur collars thick and turned outward. The skirts are cut from a heavy woven cloth, each with a wide waistband and a clean pressed edge along the hem. The hair is dressed up with jade pins, silver hairpins and pearl sprays, and the feet wear embroidered satin boots.

The settings include a plum garden after snow, a warm pavilion window at night, a garden corridor, a first-snow pine wood, a lake pavilion, a twilight courtyard, a winter study, mountain temple steps and a snow-lit gallery at night.
