This concludes our trek through the intertwined worlds of art + fashion. There are innumerable more designers + artists that have taken inspiration, no matter how small, from one another. These worlds will always be connected. In our modern fast paced time where everything has seemingly been done before, artists + fashion designers will continue to push the boundaries of what is possible. In the words of Andy Warhol, "Art is what you can get away with."
We'll leave you with this charming art history lesson in fashion form by British designer Philip Colbert for his line Rodnik Band.
