So art print T-Shirts are big news, with Pepe Jeans doing a Warhol collection and every single high street shop churning out their version of Rothko vests.
I like the idea of combining art prints and fashion but would I really want to run around in a Campbell soup can dress? Would that be the pastiche of a pastiche of a pastiche? Who cares: it’s plain boring and screams ‘I am oh so with it’. No thanks.
I much prefer the original art work that adorns the latest Street Gallery collection of Belle Sauvage. The London based label is run by Argentinian designer Ferreira and film maker Neuman from Luxembourg.
The bold colours combined with graphic prints and illustrations create a decidedly ’street’ collection and yet I find it far more original and exciting than wearing Warhol’s Marylin on a scarf.
