Shanghai Dreamers

Its great to see that House of Dior has once again collaborate with Tianjin born artist Quentin Shih in a series of image for Dior’s new flagship store in Shanghai, after their last team up back in 2008. The series unveiled as ‘Shanghai Dreamers’ pictures a western model in full Dior’s glory, painted among a mass crowd of Chinese clones in a surreal, almost morbid lollipop-style photography. The visuals have since attract an unhealthy string of controversial surrounding the racism of Quentin’s idea itself, but it’s undoubtedly a feast for the eye and a kick at the groin for many aspiring artist his caliber.
