Aspen Art Museum

A volume of magnificent proportions, Art + Fashion is as exciting and elegant as the creative partnerships it celebrates. Spanning numerous eras, men’s and women’s fashion, and a wide range of art mediums, these twenty-five collaborative projects reveal the astonishing work that results when luminaries from the art world (such as Pollock, Haring, and Hirst) come together with icons of the fashion world (including Saint Laurent, Westwood, McQueen). From twentieth-century legends such as Elsa Schiaparelli and her famous lobster dress painted by Salvador Dalí to twenty-first-century trailblazers such as Cindy Sherman and her self-portraits in vintage Chanel, these electric, provocative pairings—represented in lavish visuals and thoughtful essays reflecting on the history of each project—brim with the energy and possibility of powerful forces uniting.
