 ores how Shanghai women and their  fashionable dress epitomized the seduct
 ion and mystery of this legendary  city as it was modernizing in the early
  20th century. Shanghai was  established as a treaty port in the nineteent
 h century and became a  major modern metropolis by the 1920s\, internation
 ally known as &ldquo\;the  Paris of the East.&rdquo\; &nbsp\;\n\nThe city&
 rsquo\;s identity was deeply associated with its women and their  fashion.
  Their dresses and manners textured the city&rsquo\;s modern life and  bec
 ame the emblems of Shanghai modernity. Beyond the glamour\, the  changing 
 styles of female clothing and the controversial images of  modern women al
 so manifested the social and political anxieties in the  transitional peri
 od that ushered in new gender roles.\n\n The exhibition\, guest-curated by
  scholar Mei Mei Rado\, features 12  exquisite outfits from 1910s to 1940s
  on loan from the China National  Silk Museum in Hangzhou &ndash\; on view
  for the first time in the United  States &ndash\; and three dresses from 
 prominent private New York  collections.&nbsp\;They will be presented alon
 gside over 50 accessories\,  posters\, lifestyle magazines\, and period im
 ages. Focusing on the unique  Shanghai allure represented by women of diff
 erent roles and their  dresses\, the exhibition examines how Shanghai wome
 n initiated styles  that expressed their identities in relation to the cit
 y and how each  archetype of femininity came to be associated with a certa
 in  characteristic Shanghai look. The show will describe styles from vario
 us  corners of Shanghai society &mdash\; the student\, socialite\, courtes
 an\, movie  star\, artist\, dancing girl\, and housewife &mdash\; to recon
 struct the social  and cultural pulses behind the many facets of Shanghai 
 glamour.\n\nCuratorial Advisor: Dorothy Ko\n Guest Curator: Mei Mei Rado\n
