    Controversy over the MAO collection

    The MAO collection's humorous and critical depictions of Mao Zedong caused controversy among some members of the Asian American community, who considered the imagery insensitive given the suffering and deaths associated with Mao's rule. Tam also encountered manufacturing reluctance in Hong Kong and minor protests near her store. The collection nevertheless gained institutional recognition, with pieces entering several museum and fashion collections.
