dc.description.abstractTextile design can serve as a bridge between cultures by translating architectural and ornamental vocabularies into contemporary surfaces and products. This practice-based project investigates the recontextualization of Taj Mahal-inspired Mughal motifs within Chinese textile and fashion aesthetics, focusing on three outcomes: a Hanfu garment, contemporary handbags, and Chinese-style interior cushions. While Mughal and Chinese traditions are globally appreciated, there remains limited, methodical exploration of how their visual languages can be integrated with cultural sensitivity and modern relevance. Adopting a qualitative, design-led methodology, the study synthesizes secondary research from art history, textile studies, and fashion scholarship with iterative studio practice. Motifs derived from Taj Mahal floral arabesques, inlay geometry, calligraphic rhythm, and jali latticework were analyzed, abstracted, and harmonized with Chinese aesthetic principles such as balanced symmetry, auspicious color harmonies, brushwork-inspired line, and Hanfu silhouette logic. The development phases included research and mood boards, motif systematization, repeat construction, colorway exploration, digital and hand-rendered surface treatments, material trials, and product prototyping. The outcomes comprise a coordinated surface collection applied to: (1) a Hanfu ensemble with embellished panels and placed motifs; (2) two handbags combining marbling, embroidery, and Mughal-Chinese fusion ornament; and (3) a set of four hand-painted Chinese-style cushions. The project demonstrates that culturally attentive motif translation supported by rigorous visual analysis and controlled fabrication can generate textiles that are aesthetically coherent, narratively meaningful, and functionally suited to contemporary use. The study contributes to cross-cultural textile practice by offering a repeatable framework for integrating distinct design heritages through surface design, construction, and product application.
