Intro

Fashion has always been the bastard child when it comes to art discussions.Though there are many scholars out there who eagerly try to convince the world that clothes are just as much part of our culture (or more) as paintings, sculpture and music (to name a few), for the fashion industry that doesn't seem to be enough. I will try to get more into the subject by looking at the growing trend of using respected artists for doing all kinds of prints in one´s collection. Like Stella McCartney's use of Jeff Koon's rabbit sculpture in her accessories collection to name one. In a time when haute couture is a hype, when every garment itself is looked upon as a piece of art ,it feels like a none the less relevant subject. But more on that to come!
