Art comes in many forms, including architecture, photography, and design, as well as paintings and sculptures, therefore, fashion as a form of design and expression is in itself inherently an art form for many people. These are forms that can be expected from us here at SML Fine Art & Lifestyle. The purpose of art is to stimulate human senses and emotions, which fashion can do on many different levels. With this in mind, when a designer feels stimulated by an emotion or sense it may inspire them to create a new collection based on their artistic vision.
In fact, sometimes if you look closely at the new trends in contemporary art you can even predict the upcoming fashion and designing trends that will soon hit the runways. For example, Louis Vuitton has taken quite a few cues from contemporary artists such as Takeshi Murakami and Stephen Sprouse who over the past have both inspired many monogram bags from the collection.
When it comes to lifestyle, fashion and art can also hold a large influence of how people choose to dress. For example, the fashions seen on the eighties show Dynasty and the nineties show Sex and the City inspired many fashion trends as just about everyone wanted their lifestyle to resemble their favourite heroines on the show.
Celebrities are a large inspiration to many people and thus their exposure in mass media has led to many distinct fashions that over time have become both a part of pop art culture and a reflection of pop art culture.
