The New Vintage exhibition showcases opulent vintage in Hong Kong. The exhibit shows that some things really never go out of style, especially when its done by haute couturiers such as Chanel, John Galliano, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Valentino, Balenciaga, and Emmanuel Ungaro. The pieces are curated by expert vintage finder Juliana Cairone who owns Rare Vintage in New York. Cairone has styled stars like Angelina Jolie, Rachel Weisz and America Ferrera -- the powder blue Valentino dress in the Hong Kong exhibit (pictured below) was worn by Calista Flockhart to the 2008 Academy Awards. Apart from jaw-dropping gowns, The New Vintage also features tons and tons of unique vintage-style accessory pieces from brands such as Fenton, Giles & Brother, Iosselliani, Vera Wang and Christopher DeNave.
