Legendary Artists and the Clothes They Wore Tapa dura -

Descripción de contraportada

Whether it's Cecil Beaton's flamboyant, classically tailored suits or Cindy Sherman's penchant for sleek minimalism and designer glitz alike, artists' attire often reflects the creative and spiritual essence of their work. In Legendary Artists and the Clothes They Wore, fashion authority Terry Newman presents more than forty fully illustrated profiles of masters whose enduring art bears an idiosyncratic stamp--and whose way of dress does the same through a signature look, hairstyle, or accessory--and explores the relationship between the two in detail.

This colorful volume also examines the dialogue between art and fashion as well as noteworthy artist and designer relationships, such as Yves Saint Laurent's Mondrian Collection, primary-color shift dresses inspired by the painter's work, and Louis Vuitton's groundbreaking collaborations with major artists, a pioneering concept initiated by designer Marc Jacobs that not only has launched some of the fashion industry's most successful bags but has also made the art of contemporary masters available to the world at large.

Numerous features--anecdotes about the artists and their work, portraits of the artists in their studios, archival photographs, select pairings of fine art and runway imagery, quotations by critics, designers, and the artists themselves--make this an engaging study for fashion and art lovers alike.
