China Fashion Exhibition Will Be Delayed For Three Weeks.

　　 Metropolitan Museum of China Theme Fashion Show It will be delayed for 3 weeks.

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. It may benefit from the "Chinese style" that has been blowing on the red carpet of Met Gala, and the result is a record of the Alexander McQueen exhibition in 2011. The organizers decided to add 3 weeks' extension to the end of September 7th.

The Oriental Fantasy in the eyes of westerners is unprecedented. The 16 exhibition halls are three storeys and Anna Wintour Anna Wintour. Latest fashion The center and the two floor exhibition hall in China also used part of the Egyptian exhibition hall.

The exhibition uses objects, photographs, movie clips, costumes and acoustooptic effects to illustrate the impact of Chinese culture on Western fashion. Among the 140 advanced garments related to Chinese themes, the last emperor Pu Yi passed through. robe In 1951, Christian Dior launched the evening dress and Alexander McQueen made of calligraphy and pattern cloth in 2006 and autumn and winter. It launched a silk silk brocade dress, Ralph Lauren designed 2011 autumn winter series evening dress, and Chinese designer Laurence Xu designed for Fan Bingbing's Dragon Robe. Among them, there are not many Chinese elements to come and go: Dragon and Phoenix, calligraphy, blue and white porcelain, Dahong and Dajin.

Andrew Bolton explained: "for hundreds of years, the West Designer They get inspiration from Chinese culture and 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 there is a fundamental bias in the West's understanding of China."

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. Connie Wang, the fashion director of information website Refinery29, summed up the whole exhibition as "thoughtful". 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."

The critic's "disunity" is the impulse to arouse the public's attention: how beautiful is the fashion on display, or how bad the exhibition is? More than three weeks have given you lots of opportunities.
