Join us, as George Litichevsky weaves a path through the close-knit
relationship between art and fashion – topics which are often considered
separate. Costume design and art have always developed in parallel to each
other, and their paths often intertwined along the way. For example, many
masters of the Renaissance, the French revolution or Russian revolutionary
Avant-Garde were also fashion designers. Centuries that produced great
universal Utopias influenced innovations in art and style that articulated the
ideas of the social transformations that were happening simultaneously. The
period during postmodernism, (which is also know as the crisis point of utopian
consciousness) and the pluralism of utopias was an explosive time for the two
artistic strands to collide.
