Oh oh, photos released by Quentin Shih have been causing a major riot in the inter-web world. The concerning photos were taken for a personal project, to celebrate the re-opening of Dior's Shanghai Boutique.
What Shih had to say on the matter: "I wanted to show the power of Chinese people standing together and a kind of socialism in Chinese history (only in Chinese history not China now). The Chinese models are not people. They are symbols of Chinese history between the 1960s and 1980s."
"Dior provided me an opportunity to photograph the models they used for their haute couture show in Paris. I selected eight models according to how their wardrobes matched my uniform color palettes."
What's your take on them? Racist or not, I think they are stunning images. Captivating, pure, soft and dreamy. Ahhhh, love.
