The style of pop art in clothes is a direction that becomes a classic. Clothing with crazy designs and flashy colors, actively flickering in commercials, has become a trend among the younger generation. The bright madness created by the designers is enjoyed by shocking celebrities, for example, Katy Perry, Riana, Miley Cyrus.
History
The direction arose in the 60s thanks to the cult personality of Andy Warhol. It was he who painted the legendary portrait of Marilyn Monroe, using the silk-screen printing technique. Then he created sketches of extraordinary clothes and opened a boutique called Paraphenalia. There fashionistas 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. Direct dresses became a canvas on which many of the works of these artists were depicted. The new collection is called Mondrian Look.
Versace and Franco Moschino took this direction further, creating collections from improvised means (covers, pins for a corset, nails for jewelry).
Features and Features
Modern pop-art is a great opportunity to stand out from the gray mass, create a positive mood for yourself and others.
How to do it?
- It is enough to buy a T-shirt or t-shirt with comics, monochrome prints or a 3D image and combine with leggings or jeans, pencil skirts.
- Original blouses, sweaters, sweatshirts and hoodies look perfect with a plain bottom.
- The skirt and trousers can also be decorated with a bright print. This also applies to shoes (sneakers, tractor-soled shoes, boots), and handbags.
- Printed dresses can be complemented with leggings.
- Glasses and jewelry of a non-standard shape in the form of berries and fruits, hearts or lips are welcome.
- Outerwear is no exception.Funny faces or original geometry will show you as a boring and self-ironic person.
Fabric and color
Items in the style of pop art are sewn from a variety of fabrics. It doesn’t really matter - it will be viscose, organza, wool, linen or cotton, leather or fur.
The highlight of this direction are precisely the colors and patterns that are designed to shock and make the image shocking. The favorites remain blood red, bright blue, acid colors (yellow and green), neon (for example, lilac). Colorfulness should reach 100%, and emotions should go off scale.
As before, the paintings of artists on clothes, portraits of world stars, movie or cartoon heroes, fruits, vegetables, animals attract the eye. Geometry and abstraction are just as popular.
Brands
In the collections of fashion houses Chanel, Valentino, Moschino, Lanvin, Max Mara, Armani, Anna Dello Russo you can often see painted things in the style of pop art.
Create an image
Fashionable experts recommend remembering some of the nuances when creating an ensemble in an artistic style:
- You should use bright and recognizable details of the pop art style. It can be a bag in the form of red lips and with a protruding tongue. Maybe a jeans with a huge inscription "BOOM!" Skirts or sweatshirts with portraits of famous personalities are fashionable now. Just remember that the street is not a catwalk on the catwalk, which means that a couple of bright details are enough for everyday onions.
- Balance. This style is ideally combined with jeans and sports items. For example, with stylish sneakers, regular t-shirts with the college logo, a shirt made of jeans.
- Remember the relevance. Are you going to go to the cinema with the whole family, or take a walk with friends, or maybe you are going on a fun picnic: boring printed things will come in handy. But for the office and a romantic date, these clothes are categorically not suitable. At best, you will be considered an extravagant person.
- Consider your age. Things with SpongeBob eyes will delight teens. Cartoon heroes on t-shirts, sports shoes and caps, on trousers and skirts will give the guys a sea of vivid emotions. Those who are over 30 can also amuse themselves. Only in the image should there be one extravagant little thing. For example, a plain dress will complement a clutch with a portrait of celebrity. For ladies over 50, a portrait of the president on a T-shirt is suitable, but you should not think about bunnies and cute doggies.
