Art/Fashion in the 21st Century

Description

The encounter between art and fashion has been a rapidly growing phenomenon over the last decade, with major international artists working with top fashion houses to produce contemporary masterpieces that challenge the traditional boundary between these two dynamic cultures. Art/Fashion in the 21st Century features a foreword by Daphne Guinness and concise essays with profiles of the key designers, break-out stories about the most avant-garde projects and interviews with the leading lights of the art-fashion crossover phenomenon. Around 250 colour illustrations reveal the fruits of collaborative efforts by, among others: Acne Alexander McQueen Azzedine Alaia Balenciaga Walter Van Beirendonck Hussein Chalayan Chanel / Cindy Sherman Christian Dior / Anselm Reyle Longchamp / Tracey Emin Jean Paul Gaultier Zaha Hadid Hermes / Erwin Wurm Marc Jacobs / Juergen Teller Calvin Klein Jeff Koons Longchamp Maison Martin Margiela Marni Stella McCartney / Jeff Koons Issey Miyake Prada / James Jean Versace / Tim Roeloffs Henrik Vibskov Viktor & Rolf Louis Vuitton / Takashi Murakami Walter Van Beirendonck
