“One day you are in, next day you are out” is a very common thing in the fashion circle, and when it comes to the story behind the secret fashion, the protagonist of this movie is inseparable from the evergreen soul of the fashion world. This is Anna Wintour, who has been in charge of the US "VOGUE" for 20 years. (If little friends have seen vogue in the "The September Issue" documentary in 2009, Anna knows that she is a crippled character in her work and she is a tough player.) .

So he asked Anna Wintour to jointly launch the "China: Though the Looking Glass" exhibition of the century, to explore the mysteries of the West seeking fashion inspiration from China.

“Fashion is a business or an art?” The fiercest discussions took place at the very beginning for the chief curators of this “targeting”; in order to raise the exhibits, Andrew Bolton and Anna Wintour were also in the second place.

The film also features a familiar figure: Wang Jiawei, the master of the movie. He is the artistic director and works with Zhang Shuping, the Golden Horse Art Design. He has over 150 paintings, ceramics, works of art, and classic movies, The Last Emperor. The images of "Raise the Red Lantern", "Farewell My Concubine" and "In the Mood for Love" combine to reflect the exchange and evolution of Chinese and Western cultures.
