Featuring over 450 archival photographs and line drawings, Chinese
Dress traces the evolution of Chinese clothing from court and
formal costumes to the everyday fashions of twenty-first century
China. Author Valery Garrett skillfully weaves the story of Chinese
dress in all its variations--elaborately embroidered robes,
military uniforms, children's dress, wedding and funeral attire,
working clothes, Mao-inspired fashion--against a backdrop of
historical, cultural and social change. A comprehensive and
sumptuously illustrated book, this book includes images of garments
and accessories from museum and private collections, as well as
unpublished or little-known archival photos and printed materials.
Chapters include: Dress of the Qing Manchu Rulers 1644-1911 Dress
of the Manchu Consorts 1644-1911 Attire of Mandarins and Merchants
Attire of Chinese Women Republican Dress 1912-1949 Clothing of the
Lower Classes Clothing for Children Dress in New China 1950-Present
Day For both modern fashion inspiration and accurate historical
representation, Chinese Dress is the essential reference for
costume historians, fashion designers and collectors, as well as
lovers of beautiful clothes!
