Detox Dior

This poster is a reaction towards the anti-Semitic words of John Galliano (28 Feb). John Galliano, having the looks of a gypsy pirate created ecstatic couture. It was clear that he drew it's inspiration from minorities and different cultures. As Pinar&Viola, we have always felted affiliated with his way of working. Thus, when the upsetting news made the headlines, it was a complete stroke for us that these anti-Semitic remarks were coming from his mouth.

Physical perfection has always been an obsession in the cult of fashion. This made an odd connection in our minds with fascism's antidemocratic aesthetics. While making a poster which speaks about the ephemerality of the fashion industry, we made use of the new African patterns, next rave in the fashion industry.

Detox Dior is exhibited at Festival international d'affiche et du graphisme de Chaumont 2011, taking part in 13 a Cheval exhibition.
