QIPAOS WITH A MODERN ATTITUDE
I've been obsessed with qipaos for most of my life. And in the time I've been writing thepankou.com, I have heard from so may passionate readers from all around the world, asking for how to add a qipao into their wardrobes.
My goal has always been to bring qipaos back into the modern woman's wardrobe. So I decided to release a curated, accessible range of qipaos alongside my blog.
I hope you will take a moment to stop and explore these dresses, and even consider adding one to your wardrobe - qipaos brought to you with a modern attitude. An attitude of passion, of confidence, of being courageous and free to pursue our dreams; of mixing and matching these dresses with modern accessories, and adapting them to the modern lifestyle.
As always, enjoy -
Miranda
