Versace and Andy Warhol, YSL and Vincent van Gogh: how designers quote famous artists

As it has long been known, everything new is a forgotten old. Every day, we are inspired by images from the past, whether it’s a movie, a painting, or iconic items from famous designers. One of the main sources of finding something new is, of course, art. Even after centuries directors, young artists and even designers return to masterpieces of world art. They all rethink the classics and broadcast their own visions through it.

And no, this is not plagiarism as many think. This is a tribute to famous writers and their work. Today we show you how fashion houses cite iconic works of art. Moreover, the situation is quite favorable.

Today, July 22, the famous fashion designer Oscar de la Renta could turn 90. She was the first American to head a Parisian haute couture house, dressed the first women of the United States (from Jacqueline Kennedy to Laura Bush) and was also very fond of the arts. And in some collections a connection with the beautiful is clearly felt. For example, at the cruise show in 2012, he paid homage to the works of Pablo Picasso.
