About Miao Hmong Pleated Skirts

Each enchanting skirt comes from the heartful talent of the Miao Hmong ladies living in the remote Southwest China and Northern Thailand. Miao Hmong textile art is globally known for its exceptionally colourful and rich texture, including over 14 stitching techniques that women learn since the age of six. Pleated skirts are created with an intricate and time-consuming process. After weaving the hemp or cotton fabric with a handloom, a sticky thick liquid made of water and rice is sprayed on the surface. Then, pleats are created with fast and meticulous finger movements. The fabric is left to dry on a rounded surface and prepared for Wax Batik. To protect the patterned area from dyeing, a brush dipped in wax is used to mark the design. Abstract symbols usually represent stars, animals, flowers, or auspicious signs.

With youngsters moving to the urban centres, Miao Hmong artistic heritage risks to disappear due to the lack of apprentices. Worldwide private collectors and Museums including the British Museum in the UK, US Textile Museum and Minneapolis Institute of Arts work hard to protect it. In 2006, the Chinese Government aligned with UNESCO enlisted Miao embroidery and batik in the Intangible Cultural Heritage for its contribution to cultural diversity and human creativity.
