After making Hollywood history last year, 'Crazy Rich Asians” is headed to the Smithsonian. The blue gown worn by Constance Wu in the film is being donated by Marchesa to the National Museum of American History.
Theodore S. Gonzalves, curator in the Division of Culture and Community Life at the National Museum of American History, was instrumental in procuring the piece.
The dress makes a memorable impression in the film when Rachel makes her grand entrance at a swanky Singaporean wedding in the floor-length Marchesa, a Grecian style tulle number with a floral applique that debuted in the designer’s fall 2016 collection. Hosted by the Smithsonian’s Asian Pacific American Center and held at City Market Social House, the event will recognize honorees for their historic and cultural contributions to music, film, sports and the culinary arts, including hip-hop musician Jay Park, Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé, jazz pioneers Hiroshima and Helene An and the An family.
