Summary/Abstract: The discoveries of new lands, establishing the colonies and the activities of East India Companies caused the development of East–West trade and in consequence new styles of fashion. In the 18th and 19th centuries the fascination with the East in Europe caused the appearance of the new styles of fashion, as well as decorations of textiles and dress. Among the new trends, chinoiserie and japonism were the strongest trends among the artists and tailors. In the paper, the Author discusses the fashion trends in the Far Eastern Harbin in the first half of the 20th century.
