Henry Steiner 石漢瑞
Poster, 'Hongkong à Paris' 「香港在巴黎」海報
1973
In the 1970s, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council presented a campaign called Hongkong à Paris in Paris to promote Hong Kong’s fashion and textile industries. Steiner designed the promotional poster, in which a naked woman covers herself with a paper cut-out of a two-piece outfit. This witty design plays with the association of fitting rooms and paper dolls. However, showing an attractive Asian woman exposed in such a sexually provocative visual for Western audiences invites re-reading through a more critical lens today.
