"All reactionaries are paper tigers. In appearance, the reactionaries are terrifying, but in reality, they are not so powerful."-Mao ZedongDeclared by former Chairman of the Communist Party of China and the founding fatherof the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong (1893-1976), quotes like this one have beenrelished from young Chinese revolutionaries of the 1960s to radical activists in the West. Drivenby a passion for propaganda, fear, and violence, Chairman Mao achieved the highest level ofChinese political leadership in 1949, while his ideology, Maoism, earned him a cult ofpersonality. As the Chinese celebrated Mao as the leader of their revolution, his influenceunintentionally spread to Western societies. International movements would adopt the symbolsof Chinese communism and Maoism to fit their personal agenda, with little regard to the famine,persecutions, and deaths occurring in China at the time of Mao's rule. Mania for Mao spreadacross European and American cities leading artists to use Mao's portrait to create iconic worksof art, while the mainstream media would depict him as a humorous and favorable figure. Aswell as igniting a communist spirit in the people of the Western world, Mao's image developedinto a revolutionary Orientalist fantasy for fashion communities. Designers, like Gilbert Feruch,Yves Saint Laurent, and Pierre Cardin welcomed the iconic "Mao look," which later spread tothe general public. After Mao's death in 1976, the Chinese revolutionary messages faded out ofstyle, however, interest from fashion designers continued. Designers became attracted to theexotic and sinister imagery associated with Chinese communism. In the eyes of the East andthe West, perhaps one can argue that Mao is one of the most influential leaders of the modernage, and considering scholars believe he was accountable for tens of millions of deaths, one ofthe most notorious.
