Whether it’s Cecil Beaton’s flamboyant suits, Frida Kahlo’s vibrant colors, or Cindy Sherman’s minimalism, an artist’s attire often mirrors the creative essence of their work. Fashion authority Terry Newman presents over forty illustrated profiles of masters whose art and personal style share a unique signature, exploring the intricate relationship between them. This colorful volume delves into the nonlinear nature of modern style, highlighting the dialogue between art and fashion, as well as notable collaborations, such as Yves Saint Laurent’s Mondrian Collection and Louis Vuitton’s partnerships with artists initiated by Marc Jacobs. These collaborations have not only produced some of the fashion industry’s most successful pieces but have also made contemporary art accessible to a broader audience. The book features engaging anecdotes about the artists, portraits in their studios, archival photographs, and select pairings of fine art with runway imagery. Quotations from artists, art critics, and designers further enrich this study, making it a captivating read for both fashion and art enthusiasts.
