Art + Fashion : Collaborations And Connections Between Icons by E P Cutler and Julien Tomasello

A volume of astounding size, Art + Fashion is as thrilling and sophisticated as the collaborative endeavors it commemorates. Encompassing various time periods, both men’s and women’s fashion, and a vast array of artistic mediums, these 25 joint ventures unveil the remarkable creations that arise when renowned figures from the art realm (like Pollock, Haring, and Hirst) join forces with icons of the fashion industry (such as Saint Laurent, Westwood, and McQueen). From the illustrious Elsa Schiaparelli and her renowned lobster dress, painted by Salvador Dalí, to the pioneering Cindy Sherman and her self-portraits in vintage Chanel, these dynamic and provocative collaborations—captured in opulent imagery and accompanied by insightful essays exploring the historical context of each endeavor—overflow with the energy and potential that emerges when powerful forces unite.
