S.M. Celestial Clothes – Fashion of the Golden Age, Part 3 of a Multi-part Series

“In the old time, they say our fashion, our ancestors, they’d wear beautiful traditions. Any old tradition is beautiful and colorful, remember? Germany, the old fashion all looks so beautiful and cheerful; and Chinese in the old time, their wear is like fairies; and Japanese in the old time, they wear also the way I’d wear for you before. Isn't that beautiful and so dignified? And the Thailand old tradition/ custom, isn't that royal? And the Korean tradition, isn't that colorful and bright? And just like fairies, when they wear it. But now, we don't wear anymore! It's a luxury to wear beautiful clothes now.”

At the 1995 fashion show, Supreme Master Ching Hai brought back the glory of the old times on stage with an array of radiant colors.
