hello@zula.sg
She’s a woman tht is building her own career in something she has passion and tht brings other people joy, y’all gotta stop hating for none.
Kim Dongsaeng -wait people are hating on her?
Yeah a lot of people were criticizing her for being « fat » 🙄
she is a national hero!! Preserving our culture despite the rise of fast fashion!
+
Btw Cheongsam is from the Manchu
Most Singaporean Chinese are Han Chinese 汉族
@@user-oh6wb5rj2q It's a combi of Manchu and Ming.
She even made a jumper version
Yeassss
I want it and I'm ready to buy it.
Where is her store
She looks so kind and friendly. Wanna to have friend like her ah, so creative
*sighs in filial piety* I love this video aw
“Second thing, don’t wear red with black”
Immediately cuts to scene with red and black pattern haha.
This is lovely though. It’s so rare to see my generation donning this beautiful ethnic attire anymore and glad she’s doing something to not let this disappear/die with her own twist.
I thought she was going to say don’t wear red with gold, because that combination seems to be reserved for wedding gowns these days.
She is so darn charming! She has so much spunk and sass ! I would like to be your friend, miss awesome glasses.
When I got married 5 years ago, my husband I flew to Hong Kong to film pre wedding photos in the theme of the film, 'In the mood for love'. To this day, best experience. I had two cheongsam and had my hair curled with a red lip.
She’s a Singaporean isn’t she
Just by the excessive use of ‘Lah’s you can tell
Nope, definitely Singaporean, Hahahaha Singaporean here
Is "lah" kind of like the equivalent of an English speaker saying "like" or "ya know" at the end of a sentence?
@@AdirondackRuby kind of but it is wayyy more diverse, its more of a sound to accentuate a sentence/word, make it sound more relaxed and stuff e.g ( like that can lah, see how lah) in that sense the word lah holds no meaning 😂 a lil hard to explain, kinda like Ooof. Its kinda like an onomatopoeia, not that it is, but onomatopoeia holds no meanings. Sorry for the complicated explanation 😂😂😂
@@winnieng9109 LOL! Yeah, It's hard to explain that sort of thing, but I totally understand what you mean. Just one of those reflexive things that we do but don't fully understand how/when we learned it, because we've always just used it. Language is a funny thing.
Her use of "lah" is so cute!
'Sighs in filial piety' 😂 I felt that.
The cheongsam jumpsuit was really cool. It's such a lovely & flattering garment. There's something about the neckline & fastenings that makes it both ancient & timeless. I sew my own clothing, so I know the time & effort it takes, so I have huge respect for Ruixian making it her career. I wish her all the best in success!
*Sighs in filial piety* that cracked me up. 😂 She's such a joy! I love her attitude.
She really said ⏳
She is so freaking cute! Especially when she adds "lah" after each sentence just flutters my heart. I just want to be friends with her.
what does "lah" mean ? 😅
@@aaliyapie4344I think it’s a singapore slang word
OMG I would love to see you and Karolina Żebrowska do a video together and introduce past Chinese fashion to a bigger audience!
I love her style! She looks very polished but also quirky. It's super cute!
Her work is beautiful
She’s sooo adorable. I really love her personality ❤️❤️
I'm not Chinese or Singaporean but I still wanna wear one of these... they're so pretty :(
but idk I feel like I'd get a lot of mixed feelings for wearing one of them
The Daydreaming Demon -well as long as you respect where it came from and do some research, (like if the dress has a sacred or special meaning. I don’t know much about this style) , then it should be fine. There is a difference between culture appreciation and appropriation.
Just wear it! As a singporean/chinese, I'll be really happy to see that someone else likes them as well! :D
@@vixa__J of course! - I'd always look into it before I start wearing it out, etc
@@analise1663 Awe thank you! - I'm going to start looking into it
Same. That's why if I buy one I'll make sure it's made by a Chinese person or purchased from them and that my money is going to them. I think that's a very significant way of showing respect to them.
Super support! I hope Ruixian will venture into Hanfu 汉服 in the future too!
Idk how youtube algorithm came up w this but i love her work & her personality🥰 she poppin
she's so adorable ~*+*+*+
I love her style! I'd like to get a cheongsam from her someday 💕
Ah so inspiring and lively! I am looking for cheongsam tutorial to make and so glad came across this video...imma live with the quote from now on "wear the clothes dont let the clothes wear u" ..being a plus size, i hope i can be more confident in styling and sewing. 2024 here we go!!
Reminds me of the newest season og Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Glad they included a bit of 1950s NY Chinatown
I think it's nice to wear traditional clothing! It always looks so elegant and pretty. I'm Cambodian-Australian, so for certain events I wear traditional clothing it makes me feel more intouch with my culture.
She’s got an adorable personality
"Where are you find waist of 24 inches these days?" Ya i know i know mine was once 24 inches too.
i'm a teenager and my waist is like 24 inches. i've always been very skinny and my mom was also quite slim when she was young. she likes to tell me that i will soon lose my "figure" haha! but i'm more like chopsticks and i don't necessarily look good in everything i like.
the price of salt no one can not look good in Cheong Sam (my mom says this too)
@@carolyn8p989 i guess so!
I have a 24 waist, but I’m beyond thin. I look gangly in everything, which I love honestly.
@@Udontkno7 everyone has their own preference and deserves to feel comfortable in their own skin! i'm extremely skinny but on my bad days i'm very conscious of how i look.
she’s so cute!
I thot the same so cute! Is it the accent?
I was just about to say this lol
She's so cute. I love her. Definitely going to look her up and see if I can order a dress from her. Thanks for this!
Hi Ruixian - I share your passion for cheongsams/qipao. I made my own traditional cheongsams so far and buttons too. Last year I made an all black cheongsam to wear at my mother-in-law's funeral. I plan continue to make and wear cheongsam at weddings and funerals in the future.
I have always wanted to wear a cheongsam but it’s hard finding things in my size! Definitely finding u one day’
I love her creativity in making different looks with the cheongsam style. She looks great in her dress.
Her work is absolutely gorgeous, I love the style of the clothes she makes. So gorgeous and I’m so glad she is preserving traditional wear while still incorporating modern trends!
we need more ladies like u!! so proud of u
Omg they are so beautiful...man I wish i could wear one😭😭
Girl got a WAIST. But Cheongsams are so flattering, its amazing. I am not Chinese so I know I could not wear it but I admire it so much!
Of course you can!
I'm malay and i love cheongsam.
Not only she is doing an awesome thing as a career, she also has the best personality, love her!
Like her accent, very cute.
She's adorable and I support her passion
She is so bubbly! I love her 💝
omg she is so pretty
She looks so pretty & those dresses are so pretty.
She looks good tho. Nice hair, nice cheongsam, nice eyeliner and her nice spec.
Theres once my guy friend who loves to wear chinese samfu. He said "why Malay and Indian can wear their traditional clothes freely without looking weird by plp on the street? Meanwhile, when Chinese wear traditional clothes on non CNY day, plp will looking at you weirdly and ques you?"
Is quite true too what he said. Like we Chinese should remember our roots and preserve the tradition too.
I love her personality!!
She’s so lovely and confident!
She looks sooooo great omg !
She's cute, cheerful and lovely.
Thank you for keeping the culture alive :) its quite saddening to see fewer and fewer youngsters donning the traditional wear these days
I lovvveee cheongsam i think it's so pretty
shes so charming!
Chinese New Year this year is on the 25th and I cant wait
she is so adorable, I am in love!
This is amazing.
*sighs in filial piety*
I have to buy some.
good for her! glad to see her business is thriving :-)) she seems so sweet
可爱，喜欢。
I'm not Chinese but I LOOOVE cheongsam! My shoulders are super wide so I haven't found a good one yet. But I found a stretchy one that fits. Would love to have this gal make me a custom one, with a fabric that reflects my Navajo heritage.
omg I love her! I want to be her friend such a lovely and talented person!
She looks so tiny and cute 🥺💕.
融合古典和现代的旗袍真美啊
旗袍可愛い！Those cheongsams are cute!
She is not Japanese
@@honda-akari I am aware that she is not Japanese. However, I am. I wanted to express my appreciation in Japanese for how cute these dresses are. I added the same sentiment in English, so she can also read it.
動画の女性が日本の方でないのはわかってますが、私は日本人なのでカワイイ！という表現をどうしても使いたかったのです。読めるように英語も併記しました。
I've always wondered as a Singaporean why chinese women dont like to wear cheongsam on their new year like malay and indian women do. With pride and with their family. I agree with her. The best way to appreciate your own culture is to dress in your traditional clothes and to savour your own food and be proud of your cultural identity. 😊 I hope you do well and one day, I will get a cheongsam made by you too!
Wow she's rly amazing!
I loveeeee this! That jumpsuit is fire
Beautiful!
I love her
What a spirit !
Ah I love this! Really inspiring story!
Omfg I RESPECT HER SO MUCH
You make my soul happy 😊
Amazing!
aaaa so pretty lorrrr 🥺🥺
oo i wish so badly i could own a dress made by her!
So beautiful 😍😍😍😍
Nice video. Nice dresses.
Cheongsam and hanfu ❤️❤️
She's so Malaysian.. Like wow. Plus she's awesome.
But she's Singaporean tho
so cute !
inspiring!
I wish my country had this💜
I want one 🥺
Woah, if she's Singaporean, I'll be proud of myself because I've noticed that they say "lah" a lot, especially at the end of the sentences (never been there, just watched a few youtube videos lol) ! 😁
She's great by the way, I hope I'll be able to get such dresses in the future...
Hahaha I’m a Chinese and I just learned in Cantonese they call this Cheongsam (長衫）, long shirt??? :3 I like her, she’s so bubbly and passionate about her career
Following on Instagram. The clothes are absolutely beautiful
Good for you
Beautiful video. I like your works. How can I find qipao pdf pattern. I want to sew one for myself.
Does she take apprentices?? 😍😍🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
Stunnningggg
I would love to wear her creations...too bad im not chinese.....
I’m not Chinese but I love Cheongsam! Wish I can wear it in public though
I like this would be great though for her details to be in description box
If I ever visit China, that’s like a nice dress to get custom from her, as a memory
No Name excuse my ignorance, I thought the cheongsam was Chinese! Well, I hope to visit wherever she is to get it custom!
Vtmb2 coming 2020 Cheongsam is Chinese but this woman is working in either Malaysia or Singapore based on her accent. There are a lot of ethnic Chinese in those two countries ✌️
Olivia Kollie cheongsam is not Chinese, it’s originally Manchurian/Mongolian
Roary Lion you’re absolutely right, my mistake! It should have been that it was popularized by the Chinese women back in the day
Olivia Kollie thank you for knowing the correct origin
could someone explain to me what the expression 'lah' means? Just wondering!
It range across a multitude of expressions and is based on the tone. Eg- what lah, in an exasperated tone is , I can’t belive this shit! , no lah, with an innocent expression, could mean, of course not, I didn’t mean it that way! Or no way!, you don’t say! , yeah lah, yeah yeah etc. It can also be you know, which is the context that she is using. I’ve lived in singapore close to a decade, so I’ve heard variations of it :)
I would love to get a cheongsam made by her
I want one...
pls open one store in shanghai....
I didn’t read the description and suddenly I hear the girl said ‘lah’ then I automatically know she’s singaporean
How much are the cheongsams?
why not, red and black?what's that about?
