Shanghai Girl Gets All Dressed Up
Low stock: 1 left
Shanghai in the 1930s was a city of glamour and intrigue, of jazz bands and smuggled jewels, of gangsters, gambling, and opium. Gorgeous women fox-trotted with millionaires, White Russian bodyguards stood on the running boards of bulletproof French limousines, and rickshaws wove through the narrow lanes of the Native City. It was in this romantic setting that traditional Chinese fashion changed forever. Call them cheongsam, qi pao, or Susie Wong dresses: these sleek, high-collared, form-fitting gowns represent the confluence of Hollywood style and Eastern couture. Gorgeously illustrated with vintage photos and prints, 'Shanghai girl gets all dressed up' tells the city's social history as it relates to the evolution of this iconic Chinese dress.
