The Dragon Shirt , 2010s
Garment

This Hawaiian shirt resembles the shirts that appear in the movie Romeo and Juliet (1996). It is decorated with Chinese and Asian inspired motifs, including the dragon and the tiger. On the top right corner of the shirt is a Chinese character that reads “dragon”. The shirt belongs to Tiffany Le, a Montreal-based artist and first-generation Chinese Canadian who immigrated to Canada at five. Fashion and clothing have become essential factors for Chinese Canadian women coming of age in the twenty-first century to construct a new self-image in Canadian society. They exercise agency by adopting and adapting Chinese and Chinese-inspired clothes, carving out a cosmopolitan identity while representing themselves as trendy, fashionable, and critical.
