Art x AW15

Loewe X Constantin Brancusi

Fashion and art? Some say these two are strictly different worlds. But some think they have a lot in common. In my opinion, fashion and art are both somewhere in the middle – fashion and art inspire each other, but are still used in contrasting ways. Fashion is first of all a good business. Art is a strong form of expression. For AW15, designers went into trend-without-a-trend thing, giving us various art references. Here is what I observed throughout the fashion week in Paris.

Haider Ackermann X Leanne Shapton

Celine X Alex Katz

Lemaire X Johanna Tagada

Chloe X Pieter Bruegel

Jacquemus X Maria Pininska Beres

Slightly Hippie Woman. Victoria Beckham SS15

September 8, 2014September 8, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

It was slightly hippie, but not to hippie at the same time. Victoria Beckham, the ex-queen of high-heels, brings us the world of beautiful flats, showing her debutant shoes (created by the brand Victoria Beckham, and not Manolo Blahnik). For summer, Victoria started with linen, producing delicate dresses, jumpsuits and coats. Then we had a series of burgundy and white, ending up with pink abstract flowers. And that’s the best collection to date, Victoria! It’s not stiff and cold. The power of matternity shows, that every woman creates something beautiful. Big, big bravo, Victoria Beckham. I am moved. And the art is by Johanna Tagada, the artist based in Berlin.
