Take a splash of color from a famous painting


You know what? Like Matisse, Picasso and many other names we are familiar with - in addition to being artists, it is no problem to say that fashion and art seem to have an inextricable relationship, such as painting, sculpture and other arts are often borrowed by the fashion circle, and recently Mona Lisa has become one of them.

It was Louis Vuitton who put Mona Lisa's smile in the fashion news, and this bold pop art homage to the old masters came from contemporary artist Jeff Koons.

Louis Vuitton this named "Masters" series sounds very stylish, in addition to Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa", Van Gogh, Titian, Rubens, Fragonard master works are printed in the bag, and inside the master's bronzed portrait and life, really has an artistic atmosphere.

Koons has actually interacted with the paintings of the masters through the Gazing Ball painting series.

Lady Gaga even asked him to create her own album cover inspired by it.

As Oscar Wilde once said, "One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art." Works of art have always brought unlimited inspiration to designers, and major brands' spring and summer 2017 shows are also exuding a strong artistic atmosphere.

The color of Wu Guanzhong's Peony is in line with the gradient color of Viktor & Rolf's Spring/Summer 2017 collection, and it seems that the pink will look better in several layers.
