Member whitesnake Posted June 28, 2017 Member Share Posted June 28, 2017 The Shaw Brothers Universe Facebook page (which I just found today) announced the Shaw Brothers Costume Exhibition currently running from April 21 to August 13, 2017 at the Hong Kong Film Archive in Hong Kong.

Moderator Asmo Posted June 30, 2017 Moderator Share Posted June 30, 2017 That sounds pretty cool! I'd check it out if I were in HK. Thanks for the post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Omni Dragon Posted June 30, 2017 Member Share Posted June 30, 2017 I'm surprised and glad that these have survived, especially the earlier ones. Although all the costumes seem to be of lavish and elaborate design, I would assume not many if any of the costumes that come 1st to my mind when I think of Shaw's (or KF movies in general) have survived. I'm thinking of the ones simple in colour and design. Ones that have a peasant look to them. I guessed I'd be more surprised if some ragged old trousers worn by Chen Kuan Tai or Gordon Liu have survived. This exhibition this sounds interesting, nonetheless.

Member The Green Ruffian Posted July 18, 2017 Member Share Posted July 18, 2017 I checked out the costume exhibition at the weekend; it was one of the better exhibitions at the HKFA. Thought I'd share some of the Shaws stuff they had there.
