A volume of magnificent proportions, Art + Fashion is as exciting and elegant as
the creative partnerships it celebrates. Spanning numerous eras, men and women'
s fashion, and a wide range of art mediums, these 25 collaborative projects reve
al the astonishing work that results when luminaries from the art world (such as
Pollock, Haring, and Hirst) come together with icons of the fashion world (incl
uding Saint Laurent, Westwood, McQueen). From 20th-century legends such as Elsa
Schiaperelli and her famous lobster dress painted by Salvador Dali to 21st-centu
ry trailblazers such as Cindy Sherman and her self-portraits in vintage Chanel,
these electric and provocative pairings--represented in lavish visuals and thoug
htful essays reflecting on the history of each project--brim with the energy and
possibility of powerful forces uniting.
