Wai Fung

Wai Fung is another creation in Elegance series by ORI Team. Wai Fung features the custom and culture of an ancient Chinese lady. The gown, pattern on her dress, accessories are all designed according to the Chinese belief, myths and tradition.



The face


The chest


The back


The legs



The first highlight of Wai Fung figure is the gown that she is wearing. The gown consist a few patterns of bachelor's-button and Chinese phoenix.

The bachelor's-button


Chinese phoenix is a symbol of feminine entity in ancient Chinese culture as Dragon presents males. The Chinese phoenix on Wai Fung’s gown also brings out her high virtue and grace.

The Chinese phoenix



Furthermore, the Chinese phoenix pattern on her dress is not a decal but actually is sculpted. The sculpture is well defined and looks very natural with the folds of her dress.

The dress


The second attention must pay to the craftsmanship of the fur on Wai Fung's neck and sleeves of her gown. Fur is one of the oldest forms of clothing in ancient China. Huge effort was made to sculpt the detail of the fur. You can tell how well-defined the far is by looking at the photos.

Right sleeve


The neck


Pearl, gold token, fazan and jade pendant are accessories that ancient Chinese always fanaticize about.

The belt


The gold token


The pearl


On Wai Fung's hair, flowers and fazan are tacked. Fazan is a hairpin for a lady to hold her hair together. A gold fazan is a symbol of wealth and social position. The flowers and fazan make Wai Fung young and aristocratic.

Finally the little pet on Wai Fung’s arm is a cute hedgehog. It shows the Wai Fung is close to the animal and nature.
