Pt. 2 of our AAPI series: Meet Esther, our model for the Macaron set! 🍬
A Bay Area native of Chinese-Mongolian heritage aptly born in the Year of the Horse, Esther works in software engineering and enjoys baking, thrifting, and bouldering in her free time. We chose Esther for this look to help represent the bridge between Mongolian / northern steppe heritage and the Central Plains influences that shaped this style of hanfu.
Our Macaron set is named after a Chinese horse pun: “馬卡龍” is the transliteration of “macaron,” but literally reads “horse-card-dragon.” Keeping with the dessert theme, we designed this set in pastel confectionary colors and styled Esther with pastel eyeshadow shades to match! 🍭
Historically, this outfit draws from Northern Dynasty dress and the legacy of the “胡服騎射” policy — “wearing Hu (non-Han) clothing and shooting from horseback.” During the Warring States period, King Wuling of Zhao promoted the adoption of cavalry-friendly clothing elements associated with non-Han horse-riding peoples of the northern steppes, many connected to the lands of present-day Mongolia and Inner Mongolia. Over time, these styles became integrated into Hanfu. The pants in the Macacron set, for example, are a hybrid of hundred-pleat skirt and lantern pants, literally “百褶燈籠褲” or hundred-pleat lantern pants. The belt is made of imitation Songjin brocade, and features a pattern of golden horses galloping through waves, humorously titled “馬上有錢” 🧧
For styling, we gave Esther dramatic 12-foot-long twin carabiner braids, a modern nod to braided hairstyles long associated with many nomadic steppe cultures for beauty, identity, and practicality on horseback. And if you catch a glimpse of her nails, they’re hand-painted press-ons featuring horse artwork from a small studio in Inner Mongolia!
For AAPI Month, we’re celebrating the many ways heritage moves: across borders, across generations, and across the stories we choose to wear. 🐎

Of course, we're going together
can we talk about how this man absolutely refuses to dress for the occasion? he could dress like every martial artist in this series, tuck in the sleeves, tie the hair. but no. this diva will suffer for fashion.

It seems pretty windy
No matter what happens to you, and whatever you go through, even if the heavens change and the world collapses, we must stay together.
the way this was framed and shot is absolute cinematic masterclass, change my mind
I had such a dream last night. I was floating above the trees with my lips connected to... to those of a beautiful figure, for what seemed like an age. Flowery treetops sprung up beneath us and we, um... rested on them with the lightness of a cloud.
