Chinese designer Xu Rui cre- ated the exhibit, "To See the Invisible." It focuses on express- ing the 'unseen' in Chinese cul- ture by emphasizing form in the evolution of and contrast between traditional Chinese clothing. Apart from traditional dis- play, the designs were shown at a fashion show Thursday cho- reographed by Zang Cunliang, a renowned member of the exper- imental Chinese physical the- ater community. Rui's designs incorporate the work of Jiang Kinor, an asso- ciate professor at Hong Kong Polytechnic University who combines materials research and design into his work. His metalized textiles lend a holo- graphic, 3-D effect to each piece, allowing them to take on new visual attributes when viewed from different angles. Rui, who hails from Beijing, is a professor and director of the fashion design department at the China Central Academy of Fine Arts and an active designer and lecturer. The idea of the exhibit was sparked by her interest in the inheritance of Han clothing and the exploration of culture behind traditional Chinese cos- tumes. Rul's motivation, she explained through a translator, was her search for a "symbol of Chinese cultural essence" that came from a different, more spiritual place than the normal historical and academic repre- sentations. She hopes University students who attend the exhibit will real- ize the importance of fashion and international culture. "Fashion in China is not restricted to the narrow geo- graphical region and the unilat- eral folk custom," Rui said. "It is an important branch of world culture with highly condensed, unique qualities. It deeply influ- ences the cultural system of the world." Students, professors and com- munity members have filtered in and out of the exhibit already. Associate Prof. Emily Wil- cox, who visited the exhibit Thursday, said Rui's designs are reminiscent of current trends in China. "(Tight-calved pants are) really common to see in China, and now I'm wondering if that's where the fad came from, this research into Chinese culture," Wilcox said. LSA sophomore Erica Gray, added that she had seen many aspects of Rui's designs before but never realized they origi- nated in China. "I've seen a lot of people in the U.S. wearing that, too, so it was fun to learn about the his- tory along with the fashion." FOLLOW US ON TWITTER @michigandaily Onlookers watch as a large plume of smoke rises above an abandoned building on the corner of Martin and Pittsburgh Roads on Detroit's west side Thursday. Detroit granted money to destroy vacant buildings --.5 OK U.S. Government gives city more than $100 million DETROIT (AP) - The U.S. government directed more than $100 million in grants Thursday to help bankrupt Detroit tear down vacant buildings and spur job growth, but the help falls far short of the wider bailout some city leaders had sought. Gene Sperling, chief econom- ic adviser to President Barack Obama, said the administration scrounged through the federal budget and found untapped money that "either had not flowed or had not gotten out or not directed to the top priorities for Detroit." But considering the Motor City is at least $18 billion in debt, it will take a far larger infusion of cash or historic deals with bond holders, insurance companies and other creditors to correct the problem. Sperling will join on Friday in Detroit three other top Obama aides - U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx and HUD Secretary Shaun Dono- van. The closed meeting also will include city and state lead- ers, and the emergency manager leadingDetroit through the larg- est municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history. The Obama administration repeatedly has signaled it won't offer a massive federal bailout like the one credited with help- ing rescue Chrysler and General Motors. "There is not goingto be abail- out," Democratic U.S. Sen. Carl Levin told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "We have enough problems with the federal defi- cit. We need to be creative and look at existing programs. There are still some funds there." The funding announced by Sperling will include $65 mil- lion in Community Develop- ment Block Grants for blight eradication, $25 million in a public-private collaboration for commercial building demolition and nearly $11 million in funds to ensure working families can live in safe neighborhoods. Holder will announce $3 mil- lion that, in part, will be used to hire new police officers. About $25 million also will be expe- dited to Detroit to hire about 140 firefighters and buy new gear. "It wasn't enough to try and free the resources," Sperling said. "We had to make sure they are well-used and targeted." In addition, Kevyn Orr, the city's emergency manager appointed by Gov. Rick Snyder, has told the city's two municipal retirement systems he wants to freeze Detroit's pension plans and move to a 401(k)-style sys- tem. The gathering follows a series of meetings with the White House to plot ways to pull Detroit from a fiscal pit that this summer made it the largest U.S. city to file for bankruptcy pro- tection. Detroit has had a poor record in making sure grant money is used properly and even spent at all. In 2011, Mayor Dave Bing fired the director of the city's Human Services Department after an internal investigation revealed $200,000 intended for poor residents was spent on office furniture for staff mem- bers. The following year, his office had to scramble to use about $20 million in grants that had been left sitting for demolitions of thousands of vacant houses. The city's Police Department also allowed a $400,000 grant to lapse for a new armored vehicle. I
