Interesting use of the paintings... Brian Calvin's work would be contemporary art, right? I think he's one of those artists that can not be pigeonholed in one specific movement.

Raf loves modern art!

The fact he has a sweet spot for modernism and continues to retain some of its traits is really not that suprising considering his industrial design background, once you make inroads into modernist era you can't shake it off that easily, there are so many things still relevant today regardless how far we've stepped into metamodernism.
And if you just look at the interior of his home... I rememer he owns that Picasso vase he inlaid into those JS ss12 sweaters.
Brian Calvin's paiting also hangs on his wall...

And when it comes to contemporary, he collaborated with Ruby Sterling on several occasions: RS Tokyo boutique with that splatter pattern and the same for jeans collection in SS10. Seems there's a lot of convergence in their creative mindset.
And now at Dior...

Sterling Ruby

Sterling Ruby is a multi-disciplinary artist who has become known for his richly glazed biomorphic ceramics, large-scale spray-painted canvases, poured urethane sculptures, various forms of collage, and video work.
... He takes his subject matter from a wide range of sources, including marginalized societies, maximum security prisons, modernist architecture, artifacts and antiquities, graffiti, the mechanisms of warfare, and urban gangs. His work has often been cited as invoking minimalism as a means to expose underlying systems and social power structures.

Memphis Group

The Memphis Group was an Italian design and architecture group started by Ettore Sottsass that designed Post Modern furniture, fabrics, ceramics, glass and metal objects from 1981-1987. On December 11, Ettore Sottsass organized a meeting with designers and formed a design collaborative named Memphis. The name was taken after the Bob Dylan song Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again which had been played repeatedly throughout the evening's meeting.They drew inspiration from such movements as Art Deco and Pop Art including styles such as the 1950s Kitsch and futuristic themes. The group's colorful furniture has been described as "bizarre", "misunderstood", "loathed", and "a shotgun wedding between Bauhaus and Fischer-Price. Wikipedia.

After decades of modernist doctrine, Sottsass and his collaborators longed to be liberated from the tyranny of smart, but soulless ‘good taste’ in design. Their solution was to continue the experiments with uncoventional materials, historic forms, kitsch motifs and gaudy colours. Designmuseum.

Galliano's work had some obvious influences from artists and illustrators:

Rene Gruau (recurring, also for obvious reasons)


Jean Cocteau's illustrations

not to mention Giovanni Boldini's dramatic portraits of belle epoque women:

According to my gestalt I see a Harlequin then I can analyze if this is about Picasso or any other artist, no matter, is always a Harlequin. Thanks for your contribution.

Dadaism, Post-Impressionism, Surrealism and Pop art.

I don't like this but I think is nice to see everything! There is no good without the bad. I think isn't good copying the art work into a dress like many designers do it, where is the creativity?, that is just another Pastiche. I like interpretation of the art movement for example: Hi-Tech in Chalayan or abstract expressionism in McQueen.

Pointillism
"Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of pure color are applied in patterns to form an image. Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed the technique in 1886, branching from Impressionism. The term Pointillism was first coined by art critics in the late 1880s to ridicule the works of these artists, and is now used without its earlier mocking connotation. Neo-impressionism and Divisionism are also terms used to describe this technique of painting." - wikipedia

Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama - The Looks

puntoyrayafestival.com

Kusama is a precursor of the pop art, minimalist and feminist art movements. She's one of the most important living artists to come out of Japan, and an important voice of the avant-garde. Kusama came to public attention after she organised a series of Body Festivals in which naked participants were painted with brightly colored polka dots.
