Fashion Culture: China Chic: Orientalist Orientations in Western Performing Arts

Phil Chan is co-founder of Final Bow for Yellowface, a movement to eliminate stereotypes of Asians in the ballet community. From The Nutcracker to Crazy Rich Asians, Chan approaches issues of race and representation by exploring “cultural appropriation” through the lens of dance history—where he finds many parallels to fashion and costuming.
