This artwork by Emma Wildfang titled "Totoro à la Mode" belongs to the "Remixed Icons" series and draws inspiration from René Gruau’s 1987 fashion illustrations, specifically a tribute to Christian Dior. By merging Totoro, a beloved animation character, with haute couture fashion iconography, Wildfang creates a striking fusion of pop culture and high fashion art.
