Metropolitan Museum Of China Thematic Fashion Show Postponed

Perhaps it is the "Chinese wind" that has been blowing on the red carpet of Met Gala. The opening of the 8 week "China: mirror and water moon" is one of the most popular exhibitions in the history of Metropolitan Museum of Art, thanks to the volume of 35 million passengers, and the result is directly to the record of Alexander McQueen in 2011.

The organizers decided to add 3 weeks' extension to the end of September 7th.

The exhibition uses objects, photographs, movie clips, costumes and acoustooptic effects to illustrate the impact of Chinese culture on Western fashion.

Related to the Chinese theme of the 140 sets of advanced garments, the last robe of Pu Yi, the last emperor, was made by Christian Dior in 1951. The evening dress and Alexander McQueen made of calligraphy and pattern fabrics were introduced in 2006 and autumn and winter. They launched a silk silk brocade dress, a 2011 winter autumn evening series designed by Ralph Lauren, and a Dragon Robe designed by Fan Bingbing, a Chinese designer Laurence Xu.

The Oriental Fantasy in the eyes of westerners is unprecedented.

The 16 exhibition halls are three storeys, the Anna Wintour Anna Wintour fashion center and the two floor exhibition hall in China.

Andrew Bolton explains: "for hundreds of years Western designers have come from

We get inspiration from movies, but sometimes they do not really understand these symbols. "

Just like the exhibition name "China: mirror and water moon", "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", "in the exhibition, those fashion designs reflect China is also full of fiction and imagination."

Bolton said at a news conference in New York: "you will feel lost when you visit the exhibition, because the west is right.

There is a fundamental bias in our understanding. "

As for the Western collective fantasy, the reaction of critics is different.

There is a great deal of interest in the design of the Chinese style works.

The whole exhibition is summed up as "deep thinking".

In the eyes of Holland Cotter, an art critic of New York Times, at best, it can only be regarded as a popular fashion marketing.

He wrote in the article: "it could have been a more delicate and delicate exhibition, but the metropolis completely blew it up."

He cited another example: the metropolis built the bamboo forest with white plastic pipes and garbage dump, and the fake models were placed in front of the high peak Buddhist art hall, which was inspired by Chinese martial arts costumes and appeared "neither fish nor fowl".

At the end of the article, Holland Cotter wrote, "the purpose of this exhibition is to reach the distance between fashion and art, but the difference between these two areas is also highlighted."
