| Summary: | Art takes on many forms. In this selection of Asian court attire, dating from the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), the phrase "you are what you wear" resonates. Vollmer journeys back to the thirteenth-century Chinese Empire, where ancestors of the ruling Manchu conquerors dressed fittingly. These exquisite costumes remind us that although royalty once set fashion standards the way that celebrities do today, these garments also promoted distinct national and political messages to help keep a ruling minority in power for nearly three centuries. "Dressed to Rule" is a guide to the exhibit, of the same name, appearing at the University of Alberta in 2007. |
