Task 4 – Pop Art in Fashion – Design task

3 Pop Artists who have influenced the fashion world

Andy Warhol

One of the very first icons of pop art, his works explored the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and famed advertisements in the 1960s. One of Warhol's most famous pieces was his Campbell's soup can, which was then turned into a dress in the 60s, named The Souper Dress – marking the beginning of the influential connection Warhol had with fashion.

In recent years Christian Dior released a collection of dresses and accessories with sketches of shoes drawn by Warhol, while Jean-Charles de Castelbajac created a collection inspired by the artist himself, with dresses that had black-and-white portraits of the pop art king printed on them.

Roy Lichtenstein

When it comes to the use of famed motifs in the clothing and furniture department Liechtenstein would take first place. In 2011, Lisa Perry released a collection of dresses, entirely devoted to the colourful paintings of the famous comic artist. A year later, Karla Spetic, and Markus Lupfer released a series of cashmere sweaters with sequin embroidered pictures of Lichtenstein's work.

In addition to the clothing designs, Lichtenstein's art inspired the footwear world as well, Charlotte Olympia, Nike, Vans and Converse created shoes inspired by his prints.

Keith Haring

Working firmly within modern culture, last year, Parisian department store Colette launched a pop-up-shop, filled with all things created under the influence of Keith Haring. The collection saw T-shirts, accessories and even skateboards with his bold work on it.

Vivienne Westwood, a huge fan of the artist, created an entire collection with his graffiti work printed on each piece. Shoe designer Nicholas Kirkwood also created a unique collection of shoes based on Haring's famous figures, while Adidas, Reebok and even Tommy Hilfiger decorated its shoes with his artwork.
