Dior's latest "Shanghai Dreamers" campaign is raising eyebrows around the world. Images shot by Chinese artist Quentin Shih feature rows of identical (digitally reproduced) Chinese men and women dressed in 1960s and 70s Cultural Revolution style ... among them is a single tall Western model dressed chic ... in Dior of course.
Is this just another lame full of stereotypes or could this be art? The choice is, as always, in the viewers eyes. My opinion though is that this certainly reflects an imperialistic view on the matter ... especially now when the roles of imperialistic West are often reversed ... let the East prevail for once.
