Prints Are Back, But It’s Not Florals & Stripes This Time

Love Charlotte Olympia shoes? Lulu Guinness bags? Sophia Webster’s punchy take on accessories? Well, then you’re going to love this. Pop art has always been a celebration of commonplace objects and everyday life displayed in an aesthetic manner. Ever since pop art emerged in the ’50s, it has gone hand in hand with the fashion industry because it was at that point that fashion designers and artists began influencing one another. Fashion and art amalgamated in a form that was democratized for the first time ever, which gave us many collaborations and partnerships between the industries during this period.

Love Charlotte Olympia shoes? Lulu Guinness bags? Sophia Webster's punchy take on<br />

accessories?<br />

Well, then you're going to love this. Pop art has always been a celebration of commonplace objects<br />

and everyday life displayed in an aesthetic manner. Ever since pop art emerged in the '50s, it has<br />

gone hand in hand with the fashion industry because it was at that point that fashion designers and<br />

artists began influencing one another. Fashion and art amalgamated in a form that was<br />

democratized for the first time ever, which gave us many collaborations and partnerships between<br />

the industries during this period.<br />

Fast-forward to the 21st century, and nothing seems to have changed. We're now seeing<br />

designers like Jeremy Scott of Moschino enveloping the pop art culture into his design<br />

aesthetics to join a movement that prolific artists such as Andy Warhol had begun many years<br />

ago.<br />

evolved toward a format that could be enjoyed by everyone in a more wearable and affordable<br />

manner.<br />

Due to its immense popularity rooted in consumerism and its eye-grabbing designs, pop art<br />

continues to be the most cited art movement in fashion.<br />

A statement dress like this with a minimal pop art print and white spaces is very interesting. Keep<br />

your accessories toned down too; choose nude heels over coloured or printed pumps.<br />
