Ladies of Tang Dynasty

Brand Identity for Ladies of Tang Dynasty

The inspiration for Ladies of the Tang Dynasty comes from the Tang Dynasty paintings Court Ladies Preparing Newly Woven Silk and Ladies Playing Double. We drew on the hairstyles and lip colours seen in the paintings, as well as the striking makeup style that gradually fades from yellow to red. These were turned into abstract geometric shapes, which formed the basis of unique letterforms and hundreds of abstract illustrations. The illustrations were integrated into various formats and materials from posters to T-shirts to tea cups.
