The encounter between art and fashion has been a rapidly growing phenomenon over the last decade, with major international artists working with top fashion houses to produce contemporary masterpieces that challenge the traditional boundary between these two dynamic cultures. In 'Art/Fashion in the 21st Century', five chapters feature concise essays with profiles of the key designers, break-out stories about the most avant-garde projects and interviews with the leading lights of the art-fashion crossover phenomenon. More than 350 colour illustrations reveal the fruits of collaborative efforts by, among others, Acne, Balenciaga, Walter van Beirendonck, Bottega Veneta, Hussein Chayalan, Zaha Hadid, Hermes, Jenny Holzer, Calvin Klein, Jeff Koons, David LaChapelle, Helmut Lang, Longchamp, Baz Luhrmann, Marni, Issey Miyake, Prada, Henrik Vibskov and Viktor & Rolf.0.
