Aesthetic influences drawn from China have long resonated
throughout Western art, design and thought. China Adorned
challenges the monolithic idea of 'Chinese' culture and fashion,
turning the lens on the rich clothing traditions of ethnic minority
groups. Drawing on three decades of research by cultural
anthropologist Professor Deng Qiyao, the book documents and
demystifies the customs, rituals and mythology of more than 30
minorities through their clothing and accessories. Deng's
never-before-published archival photos sit alongside stunning
contemporary imagery by photographer Cat Vinton that showcases
fabrics, jewellery and the surrounding landscapes, helping readers
to better understand the deep connections between people, place,
ritual and adornment. Contributor essays delve further into the
textiles and methods, the role of the artisan, the extraordinary
resilience of material culture and the importance of preserving
these traditions for generations to come.
