POP ART STYLE

Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the United Kingdom and the United States during the mid- to late-1950s. The movement presented a challenge to traditions art by including imagery from popular and mass culture, such as advertising,comic books and mundane mass-produced cultural objects. One of its aims is to use images of popular(as opposed to elitist) culture in art, emphasizing the banal or kitschy elements of any culture, most often through the use ofiron

POP ART FASHION

Pop Art is the most popular of all modern art! Bold, colourful, easy to understand and relate to. Pop art doesn’t stop fascinating people, media and designers. It emerged in the 50s and was an act of rebellion against Abstract Expressionism and its elitism. Fashion people and designers soon adopted pop art’s boldness, pop-culture aesthetic and  the desire to democratise fashion and make it more accessible to the masses.

Ever since pop art emerged in the fifties, it has been going hand in hand with the fashion industry. Rebelling against elitist values and self-reflexive expressionist movement, pop art embraced mundane living experiences, introducing aspects of mass culture and bringing art closer to the new generation.

ANDY WARHOL DESIGN STYLE

In terms of fashion design, Warhol’s work is continually translated into the creations of designers today, a fitting homage to the legacy of a man who famously once said; “Fashion, wasn’t what you wore someplace anymore. It was the whole reason for going.” Designers have always looked to Warhol for inspiration, be it his shambolic sense of personal style to which the grunge movement harkens back, or his art itself.

Andy Warholis probably the first major pop art icon to become the influential figure in the fashion world. He started his career as a fashion illustrator, working for the magazines like Glamour,Mademoiselle, and even Vogue. He was alsoone of the first artists to turn his art into fashion items. Just like pop art was turning towards mass culture in the fifties and sixties, high fashion as the thing of elites was challenged once the fashion industry with mass produced items entered the scene.
