Christian Dior – Shanghai Dreamers : Quentin Shih
By Ani Tzenkova / 29 Jul 2010 @ 5:33 am / 10011 views
Shih plays with surreal beauty and creates oil painting-style compositions by retouching his subjects and in this case using one Chinese stereotype and repeating it in a pattern to reinforce the rigor and uniformity of Chinese mass culture.
Remember the beautiful series of photographs, titled “Stranger in the Glass Box“, that Dior collaborated with Chinese photographer Quentin Shih to produce back in 2008 (see here)? Well, it’s time for round-two. This summer, for the reopening of the Dior boutique in Shanghai, the house of Dior called upon Shih once again to produce a series of images, using the last couture collection, that would be displayed in the boutiques windows.

I like the new S/S 2012 collection. Appreciating this collection gives me a feeling as if going into a wild worl. The long flowing pastel skirts are very attracitive.2
I love the earrings!3
this is too cool! i would love a room full of these illustrations4
I tend to be less is more as well. The exception is when someone is a master of using colour and textures and this is a perfect example. Olio by Marilyn5
great pictures!!! wonderful!!!xxxxxxxxhttp://3maigloeckchen.blogspot.de6
ooh I love the techno inspired hair7
Indeed , these images are messing with my head . i cant figure out is it seduction or curiosity .8
Fusing glass is a whole lot of fun and having your own kiln rather than having to rent kiln time can make it much more enjoyable.9
Beautiful! Has inspired me to tackle a neon x pastel outfit....pared with the palest Irish skin? Now that's what one calls a challenge!10
très fort et très beau
