“The Shanghai Dress” Fashion Show | Asian Art Museum

Submitted by the Event Organizer

“Matcha” is a monthly event during which the Asian Art Museum stays open late with a discounted admission price and puts on a whole host of special activities and docent tours.

June 3, 2010 Matcha: “The Shanghai Dress” – Inspired by the stylish, sophisticated form-fitting qipao dress created in Shanghai during the 1920s, Meet Jane Zhu: she’s studied qipao patternmaking and construction from master tailors. Celebrated in Shanghai and New York for her contemporary, made-to-order luxury qipao, Zhu’s been featured in Vogue, Elle China, Harper’s Bazaar China, Newsweek, and more. She will share her qipao designs and give a talk on the history and craftsmanship of these iconic, versatile dresses.

Try brush-painting, engage a docent in the Shanghai galleries, hang out with friends over cocktails and DJ music, and revel in the pleasure of fashion, design, and Asian art.

Please note: Due to unforeseen circumstances, Colleen Quen will not be participating as originally announced.
