A Chinese clothing designer has become an internet sensation after her impressive cosplay photo shoots harkening back to the days of the Tang dynasty went viral online.
38-year-old Ao Luojia says that she was inspired by a piece of Tang era pottery from the Shaanxi History Museum in Xi’an to create the photo shoots. In contrast to China today, the standard of beauty during the Tang dynasty (618–907) was for women to be plump and voluptuous, with the extra fat indicating wealth.
