Twenty-five never-before-seen photos of pop queen Madonna are on show in Shanghai from April 19 to 21 at one of the city's landmarks, Three on the Bund.
The exhibition, A Transformational Exhibition, features a collection of Material Girl's iconic street style in the 1980s in New York, shot by world-renowned photographers Richard Corman and George DuBose.
Shanghai marks the fifth stop -and the only one in the Chinese mainland - of this global tour, which kicked off last September, at W Paris Hotel Opera.
"Madonna is a true 'original', for sure a pop icon," says Arnaud Champenpis, senior director of W Hotel's Asia Pacific brand management department, the co-organizer of the exhibition.
"She is still inspiring many generations, always mixing what's new/next in terms of music and fashion," Champenpis says.
That is strikingly similar to what Corman, or more precisely, Corman's mother, says about the one-name star who "transformed the entertainment industry".
