Lecture #3: Made in China: From Exotic Allure to Controversy
Grace Lai, Tue 23 Apr 6–7pm
The rapid flood of fast fashion dominating digital screens has gained both worshippers and condemners. It presents a contentious arena where celebration of accessibility and self-expressions are pit against criticisms of poor-quality and unethical production. The accusations flung at fast fashion are also targeted at the seemingly innocuous phrase printed on their care label – Made in China. This synonymous association contributes to the negative misconception of Chinese made products and suggests a dearth of Chinese fashion. This lecture looks to disrupt the superficial perception that China’s contributions to fashion exists only a factory of cheap imitations through the lens of Guo Pei’s enchanting creations that draw upon the legacy of Chinese innovation in fabrication and exquisite craftsmanship.
