Power Dressing is an exhibition of Chinese and Korean robes from Dr Jack Richards’ private collection on display at the museum until 11 July. These garments are particularly notable for their symbolic embroidery designs. Valerie Carson will present a lecture and discuss some of the robes in the gallery on Wednesday 9 June. Valerie trained at the Textile Conservation Centre, based at Hampton Court Palace, and was a textile conservator at Te Papa for 25 years where she provided conservation treatments for a wide range of textile collections. She is an expert in the identification and history of textiles and has a particular interest in Chinese and Indian textiles.

Many came and heard from textile expert Valerie Carson. With many hands-on examples she told the story of making silk. Following was a walk through the exhibition 'POWER DRESSING:' pausing at each garment as Valerie made observations. A smashing event, even some blokes enjoyed themselves!
