The
red and gold SM logo is woven into all the fashions. Red
symbolizes the physical body and the gold symbolizes the
radiant Kingdom of God within. The fabrics for the garments
are hand-picked by Master Ching Hai herself, and each is
carefully lined for comfort.
The
signature innovations for these designs is the revealing
of the bright inner lining through the outer fabric. This
gives the ethereal impression that the clothing shines from
within. And even when the outer fabric is plain, they become
beautiful with the luminescent material within. This is
to remind us that our inner brilliance is the source of
our true beauty.

Designed
by Supreme Master Ching Hai
Genesis of S.M. Celestial
Clothes
In
response to repeated requests from Her disciples, the Supreme
Master Ching Hai, a spiritual teacher well known to the world
for imparting the Quan Yin Method, began to design fashion clothing
to address the needs of the public. Exhibited for the first
time in Chicago in February 1994, Her designs were favorably
received by the public at large. The success continued in the
S.M. Celestial Clothes Fashion Shows, which took place in world
renowned fashion design centers such as New York, London, Paris
and Milan from April through May, 1995. It was at this time
that Her designs were first named the "S.M. Celestial Clothes"
and their logo and trade mark created and registered. The S.M.
Celestial Clothes fashion series now comprises hundreds of exquisite
designs, each of which is a mesmerizing embodiment of beauty
appealing to the public and fashion designers alike.
In the S.M. Celestial Clothes logo, the
S.M. stands for Supreme Master, signifying
the Supreme Master power within everyone. The logo is an interweaving
of red and gold colors. The red symbolizes the physical body. The
gold represents the radiant Buddha Nature or the Kingdom of God
within. This eye-catching logo is woven onto each piece of S.M.
Celestial Clothing as an integral part of the design, reminding
us to pursue the spiritual path and realize our inherent noble nature.
The
Supreme Master Ching Hai has never received training in fashion
design, yet with boundless love and wisdom, She has instilled vitality
and originality into Her creations. She has also demonstrated a
creative use of design principles, which include:
Choice
of Fabrics
Ever
since the first series of Celestial Clothes, which were primarily
made from cotton and linen, the Supreme Master Ching Hai has gradually
broadened Her choice of fabrics to include velvet, metallic
Lurex in Her more recent designs. Made mostly
from natural materials to better outline the beauty of the human
body, S.M. Celestial Clothes tend to combine light summer cloth
with heavier winter textiles, embodying the essence of Eastern philosophy
which seeks to harmonize opposites such as yin and yang, or firmness
and flexibility.
Composition
of Lines
The
Supreme Master Ching Hai expertly uses princess line, high waistline
and other design techniques to enhance the beauty of the body line.
The collars, pockets and hemlines are often arc-shaped to emphasize
perfection and harmony.
Combination
of Colors
The
Supreme Master Ching Hai prefers to use bright colors. If black
is necessary at all, a shinier, more saturated shade is chosen.
When using Chiffon as the base fabric, for example, most designers
prefer to combine different shades of a dark color, but the Supreme
Master Ching Hai does exactly the opposite by selecting a light
color. In addition, the linings tend to outshine the outer layers
of the clothing, with an intention to emphasize the true radiance
that comes from within. The use of contrasting colors is yet another
aspect of the Supreme Master Ching Hai's esthetic expression. Examples
include a long green skirt with a light blue lining to create brightness
and vigor, and an ocean-blue dress with a white lining to signify
purity.
