Fashion as Art .... From Museum to Runway and Back?

[FogUponLA]

John Galliano for Dior haute couture a'w 05-06 was inspired, among others, by Peruvian folk art

it wasn't so much peruvian folk art that inspired it, it was native peruvian/andean women themselves. I've been to that area before and it's really amazing to see the people there that have lived the same way for so many generations. I guess they could be considered as being equivelent to the amish in the way that they live.

I would have posted this as a separate thread but I thought it was kind of related to this trend and didn't want to flood the S/S trends. Here are some examples of artists influencing designers for S/S. So, Pollock paint splatters, here are some others:

Rochas
Monet's waterlilly paintings.

Etro
The washes of bold stripes in Rothko.

Etro
Henri Matisse

Robert Rauschemberg

Stella McCartney
Jeff Koons' Lip,Stream

yeah ive seen all that but if u see it my way first few images in the thread, arent designed takin elements but by placing the whole thing, not to forget the soup can, or the lip design. i belive that when u design u should take elements rather than the whole design!

For my textiles exam I had to design clothes inspired by Impressionism..I thought it was the hardest thing ever but it was quite fun actually as a challenge. I think pop art works best on clothing , for obvious reasons.

There's this book by François Baudot called "Moda y Surrealismo"; unfortunately I couldn't find any images online - but it is very interesting in case you should find it in a library near you.

From museum to runway

Haven't found such a thread yet and I think it might be interesting. I'll be happy if you let me know what do you think about it.

i believe we have threads on art in fashion in trendspotting as well as in d&c but the context might be slightly different so i think this can stay...
nice idea, goya!

Thanks again, I've been registered for a long time but never post something. Really like people here and this forum, so it's time to make some contributions.

BTW, I am studying in Germany but am not a german.
