China Collection by Ena Macana
by Harry / October 12, 2009


China and its many meanings are explored in Ena Macana's new China Collection. A selection of toys made in China are re-made in Barcelona in a provocative way that inverts the counterfeit process often seen in China - transforming the toys into fashion accessories.

Some pieces are simple compositions with familiar icons: planes, pigs, butterflies, military guns or high heels, that can evoke a dual meaning.

Other pieces have more complex compositions, the arrangement and repetition of each icon like the military guns cross that give us a new reading, generating new icons, a cross, from the primary one, a military gun.

I don't know who Ena Macana is but it seems to me that she is copying my work. http://amarillojoyas.com/

Why China? Which country is free from counterfeit? Can you say the designs in the famous Spanish fast-fashion are originals??

Please show some respect to a country especially when you may not fully know it. There are counterfeits in China, but do you know the young generation of Chinese are paving their way to originality?
