The theme of art has repeatedly inspired fashion designers when creating models.
The idea of combining fashion and high art periodically appears in the collections of famous fashion designers, and outfits with prints of famous paintings or based on famous works of art always look unusually bright and fresh.
The history of the embodiment of this idea takes you back to the thirties of the last century. The first famous dress-painting with a reproduction of Salvador Dali by Elsa Syaparrelli made a real furor. The dress, created for the Duchess of Windsor, is decorated with a huge “lobster flavored with parsley”.
The dress by Yves Saint Laurent, which was presented to the public in 1965, became very popular. The originality of the dress of a simple cut consisted in the repetition of the canvas of the famous abstractionist Piet Mondrian with straight geometric lines and contrasting colors.
In modern fashion, the trend of prints in the form of famous works of art is actively used by designers to create their creations. Van Gogh, Salvador Dali, Claude Monet, Piet Modrian, Gustav Klimt, Leonardo Da Vinci, Jan Vermeer… All this is reflected in fashion collections. The memorable collection from Dolce&Gabbana is filled with Byzantine motifs and prints in the form of images similar to biblical frescoes. A collection from fashion house Christian Dior, released for the birthday of iconic American artist Andy Warhol, combined outfits and accessories with a print featuring his drawings. The atmospheric collections from VeraWang and Rodarte feature prints based on Van Gogh’s paintings: flowers, sunflowers and starry skies.
Fashion designers of RicaMare also did not remain indifferent to the popular trend in fashion and created a line of stylish accessories and clothes “Dress in Art”.
The line includes silk scarves and face masks with reproductions of paintings, bathrobe and sleep mask with print, shirts with embroidery based on famous masterpieces, as well as T-shirts with prints in the form of author’s collages with paintings.
