As for dress as Art, as you may immediately think of art as objects in a gallery or a museum, there are a few dresses no one could say has nothing to do with art.







The first one I want to show is the "Mondrian" day dress made by YSL in 1965. It is an example of a dress made from an already existing, and famous, work of art and can be seen in The Metropolitan Museum of Arts time line; www.metmuseum.org/.../

Then I can't help adding the "Souper dress" (ca 1966-67, New York) inspired by the work of Andy Warhol. The dress is made from paper and was actually made for an ad campaign by Campbell's soup. There are a few copies in museums, the Metropolitan has one, but if you are into it, lucky and rich you could go find one on e-bay!
