The Art of Fashion

A captivating visual exploration of fashion and modern style through the eyes of global artists.

Since the 19th century, Western artists have depicted fashion's impact, meaning, and forms in their work. Portraits often reveal the identity and context of their sitters through clothing. However, as time passed, the sartorial details used to praise or criticise subjects became less clear. This book explores how artists have engaged with fashion over the last 200 years, examining the intricate relationship between modern art and fashion. Discover connections like the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with Liberty, Burberry’s wartime publicity, and London’s ‘Swinging Sixties’ influence on powerful 20th-century artworks.
