Summary
"Art and Fashion takes a detailed look at the flow of ideas between the twin worlds of art and fashion, chronicling their close relationship. It charts a history of ideas highlighting key moments, from the Renaissance to the present day, when art and fashion interacted and influenced each other." "This close synergy between art and fashion has continued into the 21st century, with artists working with themes that explore clothes and the body, and top fashion designers feted in lavish museum exhibitions." "Illustrated throughout with paintings, drawings, fashion plates and photographs, this book is a long-overdue study of a fascinating subject."--BOOK JACKET.
