This Blog combines two of my favorite things Art and Fashion. I believe that any creative outlet especially fine art is an extension of the artist, their inner workings displayed and worked through on canvas and clay. I also believe that there is a wealth of inspiration that can come from a work of art and it is really wonderful to see the intelligence of fine art becoming more accessible through fashion.
I thought I would start off with John Galliano as he uses art as inspiration in the spring 2009 Christian Dior Couture. He "Flemish painters and Monsieur Dior," as his muse.
Johannes Vermeer (Dutch, 1632-1675)
Milkmaid (1658-1660)
Henri Matisse, Luxe, Calme et Volupte (Fauvist: 1904): seaside nudes on a hot day.
Christian Lacrouix Spring 2009 Couture collection is reminiscent of Matisse.
