Product Information

A lavish exploration of the evocative and complex fashions inspired by Chinese culture For centuries, China's export arts--jade, silks, porcelains, and, more recently, cinema--have fueled Western fantasies of an exotic East and served as enduring sources of inspiration for fashion. This stunning publication, which accompanied one of the most successful exhibitions in The Metropolitan Museum of Art's history, explores the influence of Chinese aesthetics on designers, including Giorgio Armani, Christian Dior, Jean Paul Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld, Ralph Lauren, Alexander McQueen, and Yves Saint Laurent. Drawing upon Chinese decorative arts, cinema, and costume--notably imperial court robes, the close-fitting cheongsam, and the unisex Mao suit--their designs are fantastical pastiches of anachronistic motifs. As in the game of "telephone," the process of cultural translation transforms the source material into ingeniously original fashions that are products solely of the designers' imaginations. In a similar way, contemporary Chinese film directors render fanciful, highly stylized evocations of various epochs in China's history--demonstrating that China's imagery is equally seductive to artists in the East and further inspiring today's designers. Juxtaposing modern fashions and film stills with their forebears in fine and decorative arts and historical dress, this book reveals the rich and ongoing creative dialogue between East and West, past and present.

"In the sensual Costume Institute catalogue. . . . Bolton's depoliticized take on the exchange between East and West in his introduction sets the tone for a volume that is an exuberant triumph of style over substance, complete with a red, silklike cloth cover stamped with gold foil. Inside, elaborate Western couture, art, and films spanning several centuries conjure a fantastic vision of China."--Christopher Lyon, Bookforum, "In the sensual Costume Institute catalogue...Bolton's depoliticized take on the exchange between East and West in his introduction sets the tone for a volume that is an exuberant triumph of style over substance, complete with a red, silklike cloth cover stamped with gold foil.

  • Historical exhibit beautifully shown -- very good book - worth the money!

    What a great book. I went to see this exhibit a few months ago at the Metropolitan and it was absolutely stunning -- and I assumed the book on this exhibit would be stunning as well: I was correct. The whole book is packed with historical stills from films and garments created by lavish designers. In the back there is an index to explain each and every piece shown. In the beginning, there is a large preface. The cover feels like fabric, golden and red, as if a rough kimono was cut to be part of the book. I have never gotten any book on the subject of recent fashion (20th-21st c.) and I am incredibly pleased with this book. It is an exhibit to be in great history of the Metropolitan, and this book truly shows the wonders of it to keep as a memory to the many who have seen the exhibit, and, ...
