Jazz is not forgotten, though, and next to Elvis Presley there are also prints inspired by John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk. The pieces on display hint at a carefree lifestyle: their colourful patterns, prints of musical notes and stylised images of bands are directly borrowed from the music of those times, characterized by infectious arrangements and catchy lyrics. Garments and designs included in this section are characterised by trademark imagery borrowed from adverts, packaging, billboards, cartoons, comics, film and music. The starting point of this exhibition is a symbolic decade, the '50s, with the cultural revolution brought by rock'n'roll. The event features more than 200 textile and fashion designs chronicling two decades of popular culture, examining the interaction between art, fashion and music via garments, fabrics and interior design pieces. People who would like to explore and examine all these topics should maybe try and visit the Tilburg -based Textiel Museum where they can discover the exhibition "Pop Art Fabrics & Fashion: From Warhol to Westwood (1956-1976)". This story from the '60s may be read in a superficial and commercial way, but it may also be analysed in-depth, pondering for example about ideas and meanings associated with art and culture, in conjunction with the powerful communicative function of music and clothing. This event turned into a small landmark celebration of three main creative forces - art, fashion and music. The dresses were then donated to the Brooklyn Museum since they had been produced at an art happening and were to be considered as art objects. In 1966, department stores Abraham & Strauss in New York hired Pop artist Andy Warhol for a unique paper dress "happening": the "Two Dollar Paper Dress promotion" introduced consumer to a Mars Manufacturing Company of Asheville paper dress sold with a paint kit.įor the occasion Nico from the Velvet Underground wore the dresses while Warhol painted them: on one design he silkscreened the slogan "Fragile" down the front in bright magenta, while Nico was lying on a table, and then signed it "Dali" he glued large silkscreened paper bananas, two in front and two behind, on the second dress. The POP Up store will include the ARTFASHION hand painted bow ties, blazers, scarves, flower pins, earrings and accessories as well as original art and prints inspired by the collection.In the mid-'60s youth fashion introduced a new, affordable and desirable avant-garde design - the paper dress. The floral elements in ARTFASHION represent visible growth: it is a symbol of the burden’s someone has been carrying on their shoulders but at the end of the day, the weight they carried is turning into a beautiful garden filled with colours as a symbol of hope. This collection was built on a floral sculpture that was showcased at the Winnipeg Art Gallery’s Art in Bloom festival. It is a testimony to showcase the beauty of a person and make them be the living installation. #FASHION ART POP FREE#Join us for the grand opening on Saturday, April 30th from 3PM-5:30PM!
