But that doesn't mean it has always represented it fully or accurately - far from it.In the new exhibit \"China: Through the Looking Glass,\" early Hollywood - and film in general - is just one of the lenses through which the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute explores the way Chinese art and aesthetics have been interpreted by the West over the years.Another, naturally, is fashion - and the show boasts a massive 30,000 square feet of gallery space filled with rich ensembles: Chinese costumes, historic garments and decorative arts, displayed beside the work of dozens of Western designers who were inspired by China, including names like John Galliano, Tom Ford, Ralph Lauren, Cristobal Balenciaga, Jean Paul Gaultier and many more. The show also features work by Chinese or Chinese-American designers - Jason Wu, for example, who designed both of Michelle Obama's inaugural gowns - working either in China or elsewhere around the globe.\"China: Through the Looking Glass has been two years in the making,\" curator Andrew Bolton told the audience. \"As an idea it began rather modestly, as an exhibition to celebrate the centennial at the Department of Asian Art. Originally it was to be staged in the Anna Wintour Costumer Center and just three of the Chinese galleries. As our ambitions grew, so did the show's footprint, which came to incorporate all of the Chinese galleries on the second floor of the museum. The final imprint is approximately 30,000 square feet, almost three times the size of our usual spring shows.\"The exhibit, a joint endeavor of the Costume Institute and the Met's Asian Art department, is one of the most ambitious in scope the museum has undertaken, director Thomas Campbell said Monday at a preview.\"We say every so often that there are projects that only the Met can do. It's generally true,\" said Campbell. \"And if ever there was a case where that was the situation, it's this exhibition -- a monumental, immersive exploration of the influence of Chinese art and film on Western fashion's greatest design talents.\"One of the most striking elements of the show is how it melds its three main elements - fashion, film and decorative art - within each gallery, as well as drawing together disparate historical periods and different global perspectives, often in one glass case.In one striking example, in a section devoted to Imperial China, the eye is drawn immediately to a toddler-sized, yellow, intricately embroidered ceremonial robe. Indeed, it is the robe worn by China's last emperor, Puyi, shortly after being crowned at age 2 in 1908 (the robe is on loan from the Palace Museum in Beijing, one of more than 60 lenders to the show). Only inches away, a huge screen runs a clip from director Bernardo Bertolucci's sweeping 1987 epic, \"The Last Emperor.\"In a case nearby is another embroidered ceremonial robe from China - this one from the 1730s - right next to a 2011 design in the same colors, a one-sleeved number by Chinese designer Laurence Xu. And in the same display: an Yves Saint Laurent yellow silk embroidered evening dress by American designer Tom Ford.There's also a red silk embroidered jacket by Ralph Lauren, displayed alongside Chinese theatrical costumes from the 18th century in red or black silk brocade.In another gallery, a wall is filled with Andy Warhol's 1973 silkscreens of Mao Zedong. Next to it are fashions channeling Mao's portraits by Chinese-born American designer Vivienne Tam, a \"Mao Portrait Dress\" and \"Mao Suit,\" both from 1995.Elsewhere, clips from director Ang Lee's \"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon\" (2000) play on a wall behind a huge makeshift bamboo forest (the show's production designer is Nathan Crowley); within the stems, one can spy a 2001 Gaultier wedding ensemble in white silk damask.There's also an \"export silk\" room with various garments inspired by Chinese embroidery, including a massive shawl that belonged to England's Queen Victoria.The exhibit's artistic director is the celebrated director Wong Kar Wai who edited countless film clips for the exhibit, movies as different as his own 2000 \"In the Mood for Love\" and the 1929 \"Anna May Wong in Piccadilly.\"\"Putting together this show has been a truly remarkable journey for myself and everyone involved. Our creative team was comprised of experts across various disciplines, including fine arts, fashions and cinema,\" he said. \"Together we hope to offer you a collective perspective that is both compelling and provocative.\"Among those attending the press preview were: Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Vogue Editor in Chief Anna Wintour and Chinese models Du Juan and Liu Wen.This evening, May 4, a who's-who of celebrities will attend the annual Met Gala formally celebrating the opening of the exhibit, which can be viewed by the public from May 7-August 16.\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description' class='rp-full-description'
