Not long ago we reported about the work of Chinese contemporary artist Dorophy Tang and her work for Adidas. After previously also working with Medicom on a 1000% charity Bearbrick, the artist has now gotten together with Lomography to give the Diana+ her own special look.
"Dorophy Tang is a Chinese designer/illustrator whose work mixes traditional Chinese style influences and vintage elements. She has just worked with camera makers Lomography on their Diana+ model. A very cool film camera, the Diana+ features a plastic lens that produces dreamlike photography with adjustable aperture for shooting wide angle imagery at a very low cost. The intricate designs on the camera are quite similar with the work she did for Adidas, undoubtedly her best known work." Via Wickedhalo.

This past weekend Adidas opened its massive new Beijing outpost. In celebration, a special exhibition of Dorophy Tang was mounted. Tang, based in Hong Kong and China, mixed Adidas heritage, footballing visuals and French furniture forms into her display. Unmitigated joy comes through the smiling, chubby little kids that figure in each work. Nice reminder of what the sporting life should be like. (via Think Silly).
