With the traditional Chinese Spring Festival around the corner, luxury brands have been rolling out their Chinese New Year launches.

“Among various limited launches, zodiac symbols have topped design elements used by many fashion and beauty labels, while brands such as Burberry have focused on featuring the Year of the Ox,” commented jingdaily. “In 2020, the Year of the Rat, Louis Vuitton and Gucci also debuted designs inspired by rats. However, given that foreign designers’ understanding of traditional Chinese culture is often limited, some zodiac designs can appear forced, inappropriate, and at times controversial.” adde jingdaily.
