FASHION: Art/Fashion/ Wearable Art

Fashion and art are to separate entities which tend to crossover and collaborate. Allowing the two to mix enables designers and artists to create fantastic and rare results.
Art can really capture the public’s imagination and is by far the greatest influence on fashion weather it be architects and their designs or painters; inspiration is to be found everywhere.
For example Gianni Versace, 1991 Pop Art collection, heavily relied on the pop art movement and Versace selected classic Warhol images that originated in the mid 1960s, such as Marilyn Monroe.
