60年代 - 「金流星辰」：上世纪六十年代罕见双圆襟倒大袖嵌丝硬花扣意大利织金波点古董港式旗袍 / 1960s - "Golden Constellation": A Rare 1960s Hong Kong Vintage Qipao with Double Round Lapel, Inverted Wide Sleeves, Hard Floral Buttons, and Italian Lurex Polka Dots

分享一件非常罕见的上世纪六十年代双圆襟倒大袖嵌丝硬花扣意大利织金波点古董香港产旗袍。

旗袍主体以丁香色为底，散点分布的牡丹、梅花、兰草，兼工带写，织金波点错落分布，如《考工记》所载“饰如星辰”，在粉地与金纹间构建视觉节奏，既保留东方华贵，又呼应西方六十年代“波点风潮”的时尚语言。大襟采用双圆襟设计，以深蓝色真丝嵌边勾勒，既修饰颈部轮廓，又暗合传统“青出于蓝”的色彩哲学。最值得一提的是，这件六十年代的旗袍运用了当时最摩登的意大利高定织金面料制成，不仅铺满了金色的提花波点，整块面料的底纹也植入了细密的金线，旗袍在光影下，粉地如晓霞，金纹似流萤。深蓝色滚边不仅是色彩对比，更暗含“青色为东方之色，主生长”的《周易》色彩观。

当西方六十年代流行“迷你裙与夸张首饰”时，这件旗袍以含蓄的纹样、精湛的手工与东方哲学，成为“优雅东方学”的最佳注脚——它不仅是衣物，更是行走的中国艺术展。

"Golden Constellation": Lurex Polka Dots, Inverted Sleeves, and the Elegant Orientalism of the Sixties

We are sharing a truly rare and exceptional 1960s vintage Qipao from Hong Kong, distinguished by its double round lapel, inverted wide sleeves, embedded wire hard floral buttons, and Italian lurex polka dot fabric.

The main body of the Qipao is set against a lilac base, upon which scattered patterns of peonies, plum blossoms, and orchids are rendered in a style that is both meticulous (gongbi) and freehand (xieyi). Lurex gold polka dots are interspersed among the florals, creating a visual rhythm between the pink ground and the gold motif, reminiscent of the classical Chinese text Kaogong Ji which describes "ornaments like the stars and constellations." This design successfully preserves Oriental luxury while echoing the polka dot fashion language of the Western sixties.

The main opening features a double round lapel (or shuang yuan jin) design, outlined with deep blue silk piping. This detail not only flatters the neckline's contours but also subtly references the traditional Chinese colour philosophy of "blue comes from the indigo plant, but is more beautiful than the plant itself" (qing chu yu lan).

Most notably, this 1960s Qipao was crafted using the most modern Italian haute couture lurex fabric of the time. Not only is the surface covered in gold jacquard polka dots, but the entire ground fabric is also woven with fine gold threads. In the shifting light, the lilac ground shines like a rosy morning mist, and the gold patterns flicker like fireflies. The deep blue piping serves not only as a striking colour contrast but also subtly incorporates the cosmological colour view from the I Ching (Zhou Yi): "Blue is the colour of the East, symbolizing growth and vitality."

While the Western sixties were dominated by mini-skirts and exaggerated accessories, this Qipao, with its reserved patterns, exquisite craftsmanship, and deep Eastern philosophy, stands as the finest embodiment of "Elegant Orientalism." It is more than a garment; it is a walking exhibition of Chinese art and philosophy in motion.
