八月八日，芬中交流长城协会组织坦培雷的二十七名女士孩子们组成妖娆旗袍队，参加了赫尔辛基艺术节的大型旗袍走秀活动。感谢百味居，Omakoru 和 Lonnaskahvila Sipuli 对此次活动的热心赞助与支持。同时也是旗袍队队员们在走秀活动前经过认真辛苦的训练彩排，队员们相互帮助支持，使得走秀活动圆满完成，芬中长城交流协会的妖娆旗袍队在整台活动中大放异彩。

旗袍走秀余温未消，中国近代服饰研讨会九日在长城交流协会办公室如约举行，三十多位旗袍爱好者兴致浓厚地参加了此次活动。活动邀请了来自遥远故乡中国的红馆旗袍创始人张雅茹女士致辞。张雅茹女士不仅是旗袍手工艺的传承者，也是传统文化推广的先驱，她满怀深情地向与会者介绍她和女儿创办红馆旗袍的初衷，并号召大家一起努力，把中国的华服、中国的传统文化传向全世界的每一个角落。

活动还邀请了长城协会的理事柴晔女士、会员严菁琳女士做了《中国服装简史》以及《旗袍发展史》。二位女士用丰富的内容、详实的史料和精美的图片向大家讲解了中国服装从商代一直到清朝初期的发展简史以及从清朝京派旗袍到现代国母引导的全球第二次旗袍高潮。

讲座之后，现场近二十位女士和儿童在耳熟能详的茉莉花音乐的伴奏下进行了一场旗袍走秀， 一件件制作精良、样式别致的旗袍展示在众人面前，将此次活动推向了高潮。走秀活动过后，我们还贴心地为大家安排了现场量身的环节，有了精确的尺寸，大家就可以通过网上实体店购买心仪而又得体的旗袍。同时，张女士还为以前购买旗袍的顾客修改了旗袍，将客后服务做到了海外。
