Dorsum in 1951, Cecil Beaton drew vitriol when he incorporated Jackson Pollock paintings into one of his Vogue fashion spreads, plainly having relegated them to backdrops. That line between art and style has increasingly faded — creating designs as iconic every bit Piet Mondrian'southward '60s frocks for Yves Saint Laurent in the process. Main collaborator Rei Kawakubo might best cover the reasons why: Her partnerships tin can be extremely organic, like when she adapted her swollen spring/summer 1997 drove for a Merce Cunningham dance after a sudden "intuitive feeling that it could become dancers' wearing apparel as well."
But with 15 labels under her belt, Kawakubo is likewise looking for customers, and there's no doubt that projects like her line of Comme des Garcons Play T-shirts and tote bags with Simpsons illustrator Matt Groening serve to draw a new type of exposure. Other houses have turned to art to make the finances more endurable, too — Bottega Veneta has practically turned their advertizement campaigns into an art form in themselves.
