Art vs. Fashion - Palazzo Reale Photography Exhibit

"Parole al Vento" by Bob Krieger

Walter Van Beirendonck’s Fall/Winter 2011

 Artifact:

            I saw the photograph about at a photography exhibit within the Palazzo Reale in Milano. The photograph above was created by Bob Krieger (an Italian artist) and is called “Parole al Vento”. This photograph is under the category of mixed media on canvas because of the 3D elements that are incorportated. The style of his work is very contemporary and unique.  

Fashion:

            The body jewelry that is shown above is from Walter Van Beirendonck’s Fall/Winter 2011 collection. The inspiration for his collection was contrast. He paired wild colors and patterns with traditional materials. Above he paired the futuristic look of oversized jewelry with a classic suit (new vs. old).

Art vs. Fashion:

            The connection between the art and the fashion is the texture of the metal circles, the round shape, and the overlapping pattern. The body jewelry is a blown up version of the metal 3D element that was incorporated on Bob Krieger’s photograph.
