Art takes many forms. In this selection of Asian court attire,
dating from the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), the phrase "you are what
you wear" resonates. Vollmer journeys back to the
thirteenth-century Chinese Empire, where ancestors of the ruling
Manchu conquerors dressed fittingly. These exquisite costumes
remind us that royalty once set fashion standards the way that
celebrities do today, but that these garments also promoted
distinct national and political messages that helped keep a ruling
minority in power for nearly three centuries. Dressed to Rule is a
guide to the exhibit, of the same name, that appeared at the
University of Alberta in 2007.
