Em Maio desse ano, aconteceu o baile de gala do Metropolitan Museum of Art de New York, o “Met Gala”, como é chamado esse evento, servindo de abertura para a exposição “China: Through the Looking Glass”.

A exposição conta com trajes, pinturas, porcelanas, e outras peças, além de filmes que retratam as diferentes épocas da sociedade chinesa, organizadas em colaboração com o “Department of Asian Art” e marcas da alta costura mundial.

A exibição conta com mais de 140 exemplares de alta costura, vanguarda e “ready to wear” que ajudam a explicar a importância e a riqueza da cultura e da história chinesas.

Entre os modelos de vestidos da alta costura, alguns chamam atenção pela riqueza de detalhes e pelo luxo, como nos de Guo Pei, Alexander McQueen e Givenchy.

The exhibition “China: Through the Looking Glass” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York will be ending on September 7th. The exposition was the inspiration for this year traditional “Met Gala Ball” and the celebrities looks at the Red Carpet were a show by itself.

The exposition shows costumes, paintings, porcelains, films and other arts symbolizing the Chinese history and was organized with collaboration between The Costume Institute and the Department of Asian Art.

“China: Through the Looking Glass” features more than 140 examples of dresses – haute couture, avant-garde and ready-to-wear – representing the culture and history of China. It has very luxurious designer displays like Guo Pei, Alexander McQueen and Givenchy.
