The Valery Garrett Collection

The Valery Garrett collection was acquired in 2019. British-born Valery Garrett (1942-) has lived in Hong Kong since 1973. She trained as a designer and is an authority on Chinese dress. The collection is consisted of two components-the purchased component and the donated component. The donation comprises nearly 400 Chinese posters, photographs, porcelain figures, textiles and objects used in daily life dating from the mid-late 20th century, in particular the Cultural Revolution (1966-76) period.

What has been digitised is the purchased component, which contains 62 craft and design patterns, photographs and objects relating to the history of early-to-mid 20th century Chinese dress.
