About This Item
New York: Regan Books, 2000. First edition. Hardcover. vg. Quarto. XXI, [1], 314pp. Original red plastic cover (meant to mirror, and mock, the Little Red Book of Mao Tse-tung) with gold lettering on front cover and spine. Fly leaf inscribed and signed by Vivienne Tam. In this remarkable work, celebrated fashion designer Vivienne Tam shares the rare individuality of her own cross-cultural style, combining traditional eastern elements with a modern Western edge. The seductive East-meets-West style is brought alive as Tam takes us on a personal journey featuring the people, places, and things that inspire her. From the sexy cheongsam (the ultimate feminine dress) to the Mao jacket (gives power dressing a whole new meaning), from the elaborate Chinese opera houses to Zen gardens, she teaches such us how to savour the world in a bowl of noodles and the essence of Chinese design in her favourite Ming chair. China Chic is style that is hot, hip, and pervasive to today's-and tomorrow's-pop culture.
