Story
The direction arose in the 60s due to the cult personality of Andy Warhol. He wrote the legendary portrait of Marilyn Monroe, using the silk screen technique. Then he created sketches of extraordinary clothes and opened a boutique called “Paraphenalia”. There, women of fashion could buy outrageous outfits with bright prints. They were decorated with plastic, metal fittings and paper.
In 1965, paintings by Picasso, Matisse, Mondrian and Warhol inspired Yves Saint Laurent. Straight dresses became a canvas on which many works of these artists were depicted. A new collection called Mondrian Look.
This direction was further picked up by Versace and Franco Moschino, creating collections from improvised means (covers, pins for a corset, nails for jewelry).

Fashion experts recommend remembering some of the nuances when creating an ensemble in the artistic style:
- Use vivid and recognizable pop art style details. It can be a bag in the form of red lips and with a tongue sticking out. Maybe jeans with a huge inscription “BOOM!” Skirts or sweatshirts with a portrait of famous personalities are fashionable now. Just remember that the street is not a catwalk on the catwalk, which means that a pair of bright details will suffice for everyday bow.
- Balance. This style is ideally combined with jeans and sportswear. For example, with stylish sneakers, regular T-shirts with a college logo, a shirt made of jeans.
- Remember the relevance. Your whole family is going to go to the cinema, or take a walk with friends, or maybe you are going on a cheerful picnic: non-boring printed items will be the way.But for the office and a romantic date, these clothes are absolutely not suitable. At best, you will be considered extravagant special.
- Consider your age. Things with eyes Spongebob will delight teenagers. Cartoon heroes on T-shirts, sports shoes and caps, pants and skirts will give the kids a sea of bright emotions. Those who are over 30 can also amuse themselves. Only the image should contain one extravagant thing. For example, a monophonic dress will complement the clutch with a portrait of celebrity. For women over 50, a portrait of the president on a T-shirt will do, but you shouldn’t think about bunnies and cute doggies.
