Impact of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion
The theme for this year’s Met Ball was “China: Through the
Looking Glass”, with an exhibition that explores the impact of Chinese
aesthetics on Western fashion and how China has fuelled the fashionable
imagination for centuries. In this collaboration between The Costume Institute
and the Department of Asian Art, high fashion is juxtaposed with Chinese
costumes, paintings, porcelains, and other art, including films, to reveal
enchanting reflections of Chinese imagery.
This year’s star-studded 2015 Metropolitan Museum of Art
Costume Institute Benefit was co-chaired by fashion’s cognoscenti including
Editor-in-Chief of Vogue US, Anna Wintour, Jennifer Lawrence, Gong Li, Marissa
Mayer and Wendy Deng.
