Silk Road Fashion is a research project of the Beijing branch of the Eurasia Department of the German Archaeological Institute in cooperation with numerous institutions worldwide. The research focuses on clothing and outfits from 3000 to 1000 years ago in East Asia. From 2013 to 2016, the project was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research as part of the "Language of Objects - Material Culture in the Context of Social Developments" (German: „Sprache der Objekte – Materielle Kultur im Kontext gesellschaftlicher Entwicklungen“) call. As part of the research, the results are verified by replicating the clothing objects in their original size and carrying out wear tests.
