Portrait of Tiffany Le , 2010s
Photograph

This portrait shows Tiffany Le in a dress with colourful printed motifs, a belt around the waist, and a blue glove on her right hand. She also wears a pair of beige boots that cover her ankles and have decorative beads and florals. Tiffany states that she is attracted to deconstructionism in clothing, where clothes are reduced to bare essentials. The form and cuts become more important than colours and materials, and people would pay attention to how clothes correspond to the body's movements. Tiffany's clothing choices echo the twenty-first-century trend, as Western women's wear offers multiple looks at once and bridge different cultures with one another. Clothing also juxtaposes different levels of formality. The outfit in this photograph, for example, pairing different colours, patterns and textures. The dress also combines Western cuts with Chinese propaganda imagery, and it is matched with a pair of elaborately decorated boots.
