thanks for sharing! i remember that he actively participated in Dior's exhibitions before in beijing last year,too. i like his works in which he always juxtaposes the current chinese social ideologies with the haute couture. sometimes i don't find these two fit well together visually, but i am a fan of such daring approach. love his works.
I am sick of Asians being constantly used as props for white fantasies. Hate this unimaginative, offensive campaign.
Maybe it's supposed to be some lameass commentary about how communism and the Cultural Revolution obliterated everyone's personal identity, but my parents and grandparents are full of stories about how they tried to individualize their styles however they could with the resources they had at the time.
These are so lovely! Only on second glance did I notice that the girls/guys were all one person!
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely gorgeous.
