Imagine an environment where a man in a dress is as common as a woman in pants. Where a woman exposed in public is not considered sexy, but as alarming as a man "flashing." Where professional status and success offer the same prospects for both genders. In this volume of her series for TASCHEN, top designer Yang Liu addresses one of the hottest and oldest topics: him and her. Drawing from the experiences, challenges, and many perspectives of men and women she has encountered in her life, Yang Liu distills the vast question of gender into distinct, paired pictograms. Addressing a variety of situations from the bedroom to the boardroom, Yang Liu's designs are simple and accessible in their presentation, as vast as in the associations and reactions they evoke. Combining old stereotypical perceptions with modern contradictions, this fresh approach to the roles and relationships of men and women is, above all, an attempt to compose a recognizably difficult subject into a fun and refreshing graphical form, and thus lighten and illuminate mutual understanding and tolerance.
