China Fashion Gala 2020 - One World in Beauty!

Support China Institute by bidding on unique lots, with great items and experiences!

Hosted by China Institute and Yue-Sai Kan China Beauty Charity Fund, China Fashion Gala has raised funds to support talented emerging designers and recognize individuals whose outstanding leadership have helped position Chinese design at the forefront of the global fashion scene. This year we come together as #OneWorldinBeauty to benefit China Institute.

This year, we salute the global prestige beauty brand Estée Lauder; fashion designer and opinion leader Phillip Lim; actress, director, artist, and activist Lucy Liu; and Chinese investor, entrepreneur and philanthropist Wendy Yu. The gala features a Heaven Gaia fashion show with designer Xiong Ying, and a special performance of the legendary Thousand Hand Bodhisattva dance!

All proceeds from China Fashion Gala 2020 - One World in Beauty and the auction benefit China Institute and its mission, since 1926, to advance greater understanding between the U.S. and China. For 94 years, China Institute has continued to provide meaningful insight into China and advances deeper understanding through programs in culture, art, education, and business.

We are deeply grateful for your participation and for all the donors and sponsors who have contributed so generously to the gala and this auction.
