Fromtwentieth century legends like Elsa Schiaperelli's famous lobster
dress painted by Salvador Dali to twenty-first centurytrailblazers like Cindy Sherman's self-portraits in vintageChanel, these electric and provocative pairings-represented inlavish visuals and text brim with the energy andpossibility of powerful forces uniting.

Reviews

"Having a foot in both disciplines, working as an artist and teaching my grad fashion students at The School of the Art Institute, I am very interested in the conversation that happens at this intersection and how it advances each practice. I am looking forward to seeing how Art + Fashion will open up this conversation and connection further and share it with a wider audience."
- Nick Cave
