There had been a cultural exchange between Australia and China since the 1800's when silk embroidered shawls, and surcoats from China were brought into Australia. Australian women wore clothes made of velvet, georgette, and chiffon, the patterns inspired by Chinese clothing styles. Having acquired a living memory in the wardrobe of Australian women, today the trend is reversing with the Chinese customers getting the Australian fashion inspiration. Australia has a typical fashion style that discriminates it from other styles such as European fashion.
