"  The Museum of Chinese in America examines the shared heritage that&amp;#039;s inpsired runways from Vera Wang and Anna Sui to Derek Lam and Phillip Lim in the exhibition &amp;quot;Front Row: Chinese American Designers,&amp;quot; opening today. The exhibit charts the rise of Chinese American fashion pioneers who launched their lines in New York beginning in the 1980s, when the city was transitioning to a global fashion capital. From Peter Som to Jason Wu, visitors can view 16 designers&amp;#039; signature looks, learn about their career trajectories and personal reflections, and see how they relate to their ethnic identities through fashion. Also opening at the museum today is &amp;quot;Shanghai Glamour: New Women 1910s-40s,&amp;quot; which analyzes the rapid modernization of the Chinese metropolis in the early 20th century through the lens of women&amp;#039;s fashion. With pieces on loan from the China National Silk Museum and dozens of accessories, magazines, and images on display, the exhibition is a visual timeline of the city&amp;#039;s transformation from a relic of dynasties past to &amp;quot;the Paris of the East&amp;quot; in the 1920s. Both exhibits are on display through September 29. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
