If there’s one celebrity to look out for each year at the Met Gala red carpet, it’s Rihanna. And back in 2015, when the theme for the Gala was China Through The Looking Glass, the Barbados singer-songwriter stunned with an impossible-to-miss, yellow gown, its long train pooling into a golden circle, as the cameras snapped away. That iconic dress was designed by none other than … Continue reading Museum Musings: Asian Civilisations Museum presents Guo Pei – Chinese Art and Couture
