The year 2020 is the Year of the “Geng Zi” or Yang Metal Rat. In simpler terms – it’s the Chinese Year of the Rat. Rats, according to the Chinese, signify influence, intuition and insight. And the rat energy is being celebrated by luxury fashion houses such as Dior, Burberry, Gucci and more by launching special collections. To curate the celebratory symbolism of good fortune and prosperity, Dior launched a capsule collection featuring gold hues and red.
RAT-A-TATGucci’s Rat year collection features the world’s most famous mouse – Mickey Mouse. Classic pieces such as monogrammed coats and fitted plaid wool shirts with extended collars are restyled sporting Mickey Mouse iconography. Moschino too has launched a special Chinese New Year collection featuring a darker version of Mickey Mouse. Going as Mickey Rat, the designs are stitched onto varsity jackets, backpacks, and cotton T-shirt dresses as patches.
But more than just clothes, as the first year of the 12-year cycle, the Year of the Rat, is expected to set the pace, template and direction of the next 12 years. Feng shui expert SBS Surendran says, “The energy of the year has a combination of elements which imply hidden good luck but could be quarrelsome. The year is good to prepare for. Go for long term planning and be cautious.” The Rat is a symbol of prosperity and financial well-being. Therefore, 2020 will be especially successful for starting a new business. At the same time, it is worth remembering that the Rat does not like unjustified risk. Therefore, you need to act slowly and think about each step.
