POP!!

Good morning dilliwallas! Today I feel extremely arty. Maybe it's because I attended an art exhibition yesterday and all of sudden felt like talking a little bit about how art and fashion go hand in hand. For decades now we have witnessed designers being inspired by artists, resulting in some of the most iconic creations. At some point, I was obsessed with the FW 1965/66 dress Yves Saint Laurent made as a tribute to the renowned Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. I don’t know why, but till today, I still feel that was one of the most beautiful A-line dresses I have ever seen.

Anyways, cutting to the chase (more on designer artist collaborations and influences later), so as you all may (or may not - no one's judging) have noticed, there have been a lot of Andy Warhol inspired collections lately. For those of you who have no clue who the dude is, well, he is (or was, may his soul rest in peace) one of the most influential pop culture artists of our time. We saw his flowers on the white SS 13 Prada coat, the Saint Laurent Paris SS 13 hats were inspired from his “Witch” painting, and of course all of Dior’s FW 2013 is a tribute to Andy.  

This year get ready for your dose of fashion inspired by the “pope of pop”! 

P.S. when Dior’s FW 13 collection hits the stores, it would be a crime to not buy the Lady Dior bag with Warhol’s wildly famous shoe print on them.
