Yuan Braided Line Robe
The "Braided Line Robe" represents a harmonious fusion between the traditional Mongolian braided line robe of the Yuan Dynasty and the iconic silhouettes of O’Keeffe. Esteemed for its popularity during the Mongol Yuan era, this robe was the quintessential attire for archers and horseback riders, designed with narrow sleeves and a cinched waist to facilitate warmth and mobility. Its form—fitted at the top and relaxed below, a seamless blend of tunic and skirt—reflects a distinct ethnic style, rooted in the nomadic culture of the Mongolian steppes.
This piece dialogues between the vast grasslands of Mongolia and the desert oases depicted by O’Keeffe, choosing a dual-toned Xiangyun silk fabric to capture this interplay. The fabric's base color of prairie green peeks through the cracked stone textures, revealing subtle hints of green, while a consistent design element in both cultures, the white lined collar, bridges their dressing traditions.
