Art & Fashion
The twentieth century witnessed the growth of an astonishingly stimulating relationship between the worlds of art and fashion. Salvador Dali, for example, produced a raft of witty, Surrealist designs for his friend the couturier Elsa Schiaparelli; the great Man Ray took some of fashion's most iconic photographs; while Andy Warhol translated a number of his best-known works onto fabric. Recent years have seen fruitful link-ups between today's fashion designers and artists - Jenny Holzer and Helmut Lang, Cindy Sherman and Comme des Garçons, Keith Haring and Vivienne Westwood... And some of art's most avant-garde practitioners have found dress to be a profound metaphor for the human body and the human condition. Art § Fashion charts the history of the relationship between the two genres and shows how the fashion system itself, as well as the fields of advertising and marketing, have been influenced and changed by that rapprochement.
