Anna Wintour: Not Seeing The Growth Of Chinese Designers

Anna Wintour visited Beijing for the first time in 2010.

This is the second time this week. The visit is the annual exhibition of "China: mirror and water moon", which promotes the opening of the Metropolitan Museum.

In her suite at The Peninsula Hotel in downtown Beijing, Chanel editor edited WWD's decision in the Chinese capital instead of in New York, which originated from the recognition of the country and finally inspired the exhibition.

"We have always had such a good tradition to carry out these activities in the proper cities. It is a gesture to support and respect the theme of any exhibition," she said.

Wintour held the annual fundraising dinner for Fashion College since 1995 last year, and the clothing Center Museum was named after her.

But Wintour is not alone.

The Met sent a large high-level delegation to highlight the importance of this exhibition to museums and even the US Department of state.

The normalization of relations has developed a force, "Baucus said.

This exhibition traces the impact of Chinese art and film by Western designers, which will be opened in May 7th and three days after the dinner.

Wintour said it is likely that China's interest in this ticket will increase greatly due to the theme of China.

The party was hosted by tycoon Cao Qifeng. He is one of the key investors of Michael Kors and Tommy Hilfiger. He has a wide interest in Chinese business, and there are actors Gong Li and Jennifer Lawrence in the same field.

When asked whether the Met means more donations from China, Wintour said, "we already have Chinese donors, but obviously you will not say more."

This trip is also an opportunity for the Met, which is trying to win the participation of Chinese exhibits in the exhibition.

The National Silk Museum of Hangzhou will lend out the Chinese silk garments that have been sold to London. The the Imperial Palace museum may lend the gown of Pu Yi, the last emperor of China.

"Bertolucci's movie" last emperor "has great influence on Western designers. The image of young emperors in court robes has been iconic in the west, Bolton said, adding that other films, such as Wong Kar Wai's" fancy years ", will be widely used in exhibitions.

His travels with Wintour also met with Chinese designers Guo Pei, Lawrence Xu, Masha Ma, Ma Ke and Uma Wang.

On their three day trip, Wintour said she thought young Chinese women wore "charm and wit", but she said she did not think Chinese designers around the world had yet to break through.

"As far as Chinese fashion designers are concerned, I haven't seen any growth so far," she said.

However, she added that the large number of students studying in famous foreign art and fashion schools in China means that this situation can change quickly.

"I will definitely have an impact," she said.
