Which works of art are used most widely?
If there is a list, there must be abstract painting master Piet Cornelies Mondrian. The composition elements and colors of his works have a great influence on the architecture and design of later generations.
Fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent loves his work. After he created the luxury brand of the same name, he even designed a series of clothes with the elements of Mondrian's work, causing a great sensation.
In fact, there are far more than one example of fashion drawing on art works.
In 1888, Van Gogh completed a large number of works in the small town of Arles in the south of France, including a portrait called La Mousme.
Almost 100 years later, designer Alexander McQueen made the women's costumes into ready-to-wear, vertical striped tops, polka-dot skirts and calm colors.
The fashion show and fashion week every year is recognized as the trend vane.
On the runway, the models and clothes that guide fashion are dazzling, but few people know that some designers often need to find inspiration in the works of art decades or even centuries ago. Sometimes they directly tribute to the clothing in the paintings.
In addition to clothing, the composition and style of art works are also the imitation of various fashion publications.
Of course, people in the fashion industry never shun the love of classic art. Just like Andrew's reference to Surrealist master René François Ghislain Magritte's work - the same structural arrangement, only the characters in Magritte's paintings are the back, while the characters in Andrew's photography are positive.
The 2001 Dior perfume advertisement directly copied the work that Charles Alan Gilbert completed more than 100 years ago.
The most interesting one is the imitation of Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara's work. Although the designer has done a detailed re-enactment on the pink dress and even the expression and hairstyle, it is still a little less childish.
Art is a treasure trove of fashion, and fashion continues to draw nutrients from it. I think that 's why Dali can be so outstanding in art and fashion industry. If there is no art, fashion no longer exists.
