Seduction & the City

Shanghai owes its reputation as the most fashionable city in China to the calendar poster, whose print runs once numbered in the tens of millions and whose distribution reached from China’s interior to Southeast Asia. The basic idea behind the poster was to associate a product with an attractive woman, to encourage subconscious desire and consumption. Not only did calendar posters introduce new products to Chinese everywhere but also their portrayal of Shanghai women – wearing make-up and stylish clothing, smoking cigarettes and surrounded by foreign goods – set the standard for modern fashion that many Chinese women would dream of for decades.
