Meet Jane Zhu: she's studied qipao patternmaking and construction from master tailors. Celebrated in Shanghai and New York for her contemporary, made-to-order luxury qipao, Zhu's been featured in Vogue, Elle China, Harper's Bazaar China, Newsweek, and more. She will share her qipao designs and give a talk on the history and craftsmanship of these iconic, versatile dresses. http://artbabble.org/video/asian-art/matcha-shanghai-dress#comments Fashion Jane Zhu qipao shanghai shanghai dress Textile and Fashion Arts Childhood Asian Art Chinese Art Inspiration Materials and Process Objects Events Textiles Asian Art Museum http://artbabble.org/sites/default/files/bvideos/c7/c73302a201cfde56/poster-image-07.jpg c73302a201cfde56 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 22:27:57 +0000 Asian Art Museum 7177 at http://artbabble.org
