Inhalt:
For centuries, China's export arts--jade, silks, porcelains, and, more recently, cinema--have fuelled Western fantasies of an exotic East and served as enduring sources of inspiration for fashion. This stunning publication 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"--which the British call "Chinese whispers"--the process of cultural translation transforms the source material into ingeniously original fashions that are products solely of the designers imaginations. Exhibition: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA (07.05-16.08.2015)
