Calling all fashion... I mean Artist!


It seems that often industries seem to overlap. Crossing territories that have yet to be discoverd, yet despite the unconventional mergers, things still seem to work out.

Seemingly,in the world of fashion and the world of art, it becomes a match made in heaven. So, is it any surprise the fashion would begin to embrace more abstract and artistic concepts? Of course your probably like "duh jenius, fashion is art.."But I on the contrary think it is a bleeding thin line between art and fashion emulating art.
I'm looking at the bigger "picture" of fashion painting hommage to art, whether it's Basquiat prints on dress, keith harring printed tunics and bathing suits, to flamboyant displays at both artistic venues (I.e. And art gallery) and the over the top fashion afficinados, hoping to be seen.

Either way, it's a beautiful thing, sure to capture an artist attention!
