Praisin’ Asian Fashion ‘19

A little more than a month ago, I posted a picture of one of Guo Pei’s runway looks here and while it did not become viral per se, it spread surprisingly quickly around in this small community. At first, I thought that it simply looked like a crazy, avant garde look. Yet, I puzzled more over it. What if the reason is because this aesthetic and style just is not seen very often in the fashion community? Personally, while beautiful and breathtaking, opulent fashion filled with embroidered motifs featuring mythical creatures, such as Guo Pei’s, was not entirely foreign to me, a bonafide Chinese™. It occured to me that the lack of exposure to Asian influences and culture was a possible reason for such reactions by the fashion community. Of course, this may not be true, but here I am anyway, creating a little event on this fashion blog, called Praisin’ Asian Fashion (if this is not already apparent).

Throughout the month of February, I’ll be posting works/looks by Asian brands/designers for each day of this month, as well as an article about the brand/designer that would maybe help introduce some understand/know more about these brands and designers. Of course, defining what is Asia can be pretty difficult and controversial. To clear things up, I’ll be including designers or brands from countries that lie on the border of Eastern Europe and Asia, such as Georgia and Russia. I will also be shining some light on countries in the Middle East, as well as Southeast Asian countries, not simply East Asian fashion.

Hopefully, this will be an interesting, entertaining and educational experience for you guys! Enjoy :)

Fun fact: if you translate “gum” into mandarin, it literally means “mouth fragrance candy”

Okay, so I'm still a newb when it comes to makeup, so I apologize in advance if it's shitty. I still got a loooooong way to go tbh. Haha.

praisin’ the asian till the day I die 🇰🇷💖

Hi! So I'm half Filipino and half white and I mostly look white. I really want to participate in Praisin the Asian on Insta and Tumblr, but I feel as if I'm not.. asian enough? I grew up with my Filipino side. I'm really proud of it and I wouldn't want to be anything different. Is it okay if I participated in the event? Or should I not bc of me being white passing? Thank you in advance btw

Hey!

Well, I’m not the keeper of #praisintheasian and even if I was, I’d still say the same thing lol.

If you’re Asian, then you’re Asian. #Praisintheasian is for anyone and everyone that is Asian, both monoracial and multiracial. It doesn’t matter how you look, where you come from, or what you are. If you’re feeling comfortable with participating on the second of every month, I say do it. IG, Tumblr, Twitter, Snap, whatever wherever lol.

It’s the one day where every Asian person can be proud of themselves and their roots so why not? (Though you should be proud everyday tbh lol).

End of Praisin’ Asian Fashion ‘19

And with that last post about Ashi Studio, I conclude Praisin’ Asian Fashion ‘19. 

It’s been 28 days of research, education and fun doing this little series. It ended with minimal problems (nothing went wrong on 23rd feb ok :>) The readings and Google searches I made have kept me hooked for the longest time, and I hope whoever looked through these posts have found a new designer that interests them, like I did.

Thank you, hehe, and hope this comes back next year ;)

ok i love the movement of praisin the asian. but i have seen one too many white people fetishising asians & excusing it by saying they are appreciating them. i encourage all non-asians supporting the movement to take a step back & see, am i supporting it? or do i think asians are adorable & sexy?

"praisin the asian" is great bc asian ppl are also oppressed in this society, which marginalizes ppl of color as a whole. whether or not the asian community is "Most Oppressed" in said-society is irrelevant because change doesnt come in timely bursts; change can be made from all perimeters- why not attack the systemic racism/prejudice that affects various communities rather than just one? asian people too have been left out of an idealized delusion of beauty, and if they wanna flaunt their pretty despite ppl telling them they arent worth looking at, they can. we can. stop making this about the oppression olympics, bc ur getting the wrong idea.
