A dialogue between centuries-old elegance and cutting-edge design unfolds this summer at Prince Kung's Palace Museum, where a landmark exhibition explores how Chinese traditions continue to inspire contemporary fashion.

Titled Elegance and Style: A Dialogue Between Prince Kung's Palace and Chinese Fashion (1780-2025), the exhibition opened on July 22 and runs through Oct 19 in Jiale Hall, one of the palace's most historically significant spaces.

It marks the first major contemporary fashion and art showcase within the museum, bridging Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) heritage with the creative energy of 26 leading Chinese designers and artists.
