Chinese Dress: From the Qing Dynasty to the Present traces the evolution of Chinese clothing from court and formal costumes to the fashions of modern China
There are hundreds of gorgeous illustrations, photos, etc. Evident is the author's passion for the beautiful garments worn in China's last dynasty to the present. Generation gaps are a fact of modern life, but nowhere have they been as wide or frequent as in China, where nearly every decade has seen Chinese society remade to an astonishing extent. Barnes began collecting art, how he bought his first Matisse when he went to Paris and obtained it from Gertrude Stein, and how he created his magnificent collection which is now worth billions. This is a fabulous set of books!. A massive work of regulations and penalties on the subject was promulgated by the Qianlong Emperor to ensure that Manchu customs were not "subsumed and diluted by Chinese ways." Using the first of more than five hundred gorgeous, mostly colour, illustrations, Chinese Dress explains how to "read" such key exemplars of this system as embroidered "dragon robes" and "mandarin squares." A rich resource for the experienced scholar, these chapters will open the eyes of those new to the intricacies of imperial dress
