#17: Lunar New Year Celebration in NYC Chinatown 1960
In the heart of New York City’s Chinatown in 1960, this woman combined high fashion with tradition. Attending the Chinese New Year celebration, she wears an elegant ivory faux-fur coat, a staple of Western winter style at the time. Her hair is swept up in a polished high updo. To complete her festive look, she carries a hand-painted paper umbrella made from bamboo, a nod to her cultural heritage. It’s a lovely picture of someone celebrating their identity.
