About the Artist

Hardy Jowett was a renowned art historian and textile expert known for his extensive studies of Qing Dynasty Manchu fashion. His meticulous research delved into the intricate designs of longpao robes, phoenix crowns, and kesi-woven fabrics that defined the opulence of the Qing era. Jowett’s passion for preserving the heritage of Manchu fashion led him to document the intricate symbolism in garments—like the nine dragons on Jifu or the embroidered plum blossoms on winter sleeves—that conveyed messages of power, prosperity, and resilience. His scholarship helped elevate these traditional arts, showing the world that every thread, stitch, and design was not just decoration, but a reflection of the cultural heartbeat of an empire. Today, Hardy Jowett's legacy lives on as a key reference for historians and fashion enthusiasts who seek to understand the grandeur and intricacies of Qing Dynasty attire.
