China by Andrew Bolton
A lavish exploration of the evocative and complex fashions inspired by Chinese culture
"In the sensual Costume Institute catalogue. . . Bolton's depoliticized take on the exchange between East and West in his introduction sets the tone for a volume that is an exuberant triumph of style over substance, complete with a red, silklike cloth cover stamped with gold foil. Inside, elaborate Western couture, art, and films spanning several centuries conjure a fantastic vision of China."—Christopher Lyon, Bookforum
"One of the publication highlights this year, this sumptuous book beautifully depicts the interaction between China and the West through art and design, a continued rich source of invention and inspiration."—Glass
