Chan, as one of the founders of Hanfu-Hong Kong, recognized some emerging business opportunities. Four years ago, she established a hanfu studio which enables consumers to experience a slice of life in ancient China with hanfu and traditional make-up and hair-styling, and also rents out outfits and accessories.

Colorful costumes with different patterns, jewelry and ornaments crowd the compact studio in an industrial building in Hong Kong's Kwai Chung area.

"I guess I have over 200 suits of hanfu," Chan said, adding that these outfits present hanfu styles from almost every period of the Chinese history.

She believes that classics will never go out of style and she herself has incorporated hanfu into her everyday outlook. While working and shopping, she matches simple-design and quiet-color hanfu pieces with fashionable shoes to better suit a modern lifestyle.

"Everyone could wear hanfu regardless of their age, size or gender," Chan said. "Hanfu does not only exist in TV series or on the internet, but can be fully integrated into our daily life."
