fashion as art.

Image From: Manet and Tim Walker

I have always been a firm believer in fashion as an art form. It is no secret that the some of the greatest designers are directly inspired by art and artists; just as art, photography and design will occasionally take its lead from fashion.

By chance I noticed Tim Walker's photograph for British Vogue subtly resembles Manet's artwork ‘Before The Mirror’.

Would you agree?

Have you discovered any other fashion editorials similar to famous paintings?

    It's funny that you say that because when I was doing my Jeffrey Campbell post, the Paint Ticks that I posted reminded me of abstraction expressionism, mainly Jackson Pollock.

    I am sure there are many. We all draw on each other. I love Tim Walker.
    Re your comment re the tube in London. It is not a very sociable place. People dont tend to speak to each other very much. So it can be a lovely quiet contemplative space - that is if you are not sat beside someone who is playing their ipod too loudly. Xxxx

    Art has always inspired fashion and vice versa. i am sure that many editorials are directly or indirectly inspired by some great works of art. Lovely images.
