Chinese Designers: THEN and NOW

Dresses (Left to Right) by Vivienne Tam (Fall 2007), Zang Toi (Spring 1991) and Peter Som (Fall 2010)

Strutting down the runways of fashion's greatest catwalks is the handiwork of some notable Chinese-American designers. Long since the birth of the Qipao and the Cheongsam, Jason Wu, Anna Sui, Derek Lam, Phillip Lim and Vera Wang make their mark in fashion, paying homage to their Asian heritage through haute couture. Opening April 26 at the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) are two exhibits featuring Chinese fashion, past and present.
