Earlier this year, Yahoo Style interviewed Andrew Bolton, the curator behind this exhibit, who explained that he was “really interested in the impact of China in the West, and more so the cross-cultural dialogue between them.”

Hathaway must have heard Bolton loud and clear; the actress told our editor-in-chief Joe Zee, “I thought there was a lot you could do [with the theme] so I decided to find a contemporary Chinese artist that I loved and try to interpret [it].” In the end, it was a statue by Huang Yulong that inspired her caped gown.

Yulong, it turns out, is one of China’s most talented contemporary artists. Based in Beijing, he creates sculptures that blur the lines between Chinese and Western culture, specifically hip hop culture, through the use of traditional Chinese ceramic porcelain. His sculptures feature such disparate visuals like a Buddha wearing a hoodie, or a royal crest made from brass knuckles and chains that also resemble a happy face. His work explores the very connection that Bolton, and the rest of the team at the Costume Center aimed to expose in the show.
