MISSION:
Compile 6 images of fashion designs that show influences from historical artistic styles. Each image should be different and from a different artistic style. Label each image with the appropriate designer/date as well as the artistic style/artist/time period that you are relating the garment to. In addition, each image should be accompanied by text stating its relevance.
1. June 2009 : These models are wearing fashion inspired by Berlin's East Side Gallery paintings and pose for photographers on Berlin's Pariser Platz. The East Side Gallery is a 1.3 km-long portion of the Berlin wall taken over by artists.
2. This 60's A-line paper dress designed by The American Campbell Soup Company was created with Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Can in mind.
3. Girogio Armani's 2010 runway show featured another form or art imitating life. With the works of Richard Hambelton as the backdrop for his presentation, Armani sent his ladies down a brick-colored catwalk in heavy black fabrics like velvet and fur -- mimicking the darkness of the "Shadowman" paintings.
4. Samantha Treacy at Lisa Kline was featured in Marie Claires 2009 article regarding painting inspired work. Here, we see Jackson Pollock this designer shirt.
5. Inspired by old masters' paintings, Alexander McQueen's last show included rich fabrics in bold, luscious colors with ornate detailing.Here we see one of his pieces compared to a painting by Apollonio di Giovanni from 1463.
6. In January of 2009 Andrew Matusik used Rene Magritte as his main inspiration for a fashion editorial spread in Genlux Magazine's Winter issue. Being a photographer, I think it's interesting when Fashion PHOTOGRAPHY is also influenced by art. The way Magritte painted these images, Matusik painted and worked in photoshop to create his own beautiful work.
