Singapore's Cultural Heritage Festival has entered seventh years.

Chen Meiling said that in the first few years, the Singapore Cultural Heritage Festival was just an experimental activity, and the local activities were very strong at that time. In recent years, the new immigrant culture began to be introduced. This year, it expanded to face the world culture and step into the world step by step.

The target has also been gradually extended from the original locals to new immigrants, local expatriates and even foreign tourists.

This year's Singapore Cultural Heritage Festival will start from 11 to 22 this month.

Similarities and differences in clothing reflecting culture

In the past, there had never been such a large-scale world traditional costume exhibition.

Chen Meiling said that the selection of the world traditional fashion show will not only make Singapore's traditional culture festival more distinctive this year, but also extend the culture and history of the countries and places concerned.

"There are many stories behind every national costume. It can reflect different cultural colors from cloth, color selection, and design and accessories."

Cheng Liyi, managing director of Magnum Opus Design, the curator of the world traditional costumes exhibition, said: "the exhibition conveys an important message: Although these traditional costumes come from different countries and regions, the languages and languages used everywhere are different, but there are many similarities and connections between cultures and history."

She said that when clothes were first used to keep warm and cover up, people later wanted to beautify it. So traditional customs and culture, such as longevity, prosperity and other symbolic designs, became the considerations of designing clothes; different clothes also became symbols of status, status and power, and some traditional costumes also reflected traces of the influence of foreign cultures.

In order for the public to leave a beautiful memory of the exhibition, Cheng decided not to put the clothes in the glass cabinet but to extend the platform of the catwalk to the exhibition site, so that the artificial models could show the traditional costumes.
