Thousands of dresses were produced they could be purchased at drugstores, supermarkets, department stores and by mail order in exchange for clipped coupons and box tops. Canadian and European markets soon followed. “Paper fashion” took the United States market by storm between 19. 1 It was not until 60 years later, however, that printed paper garments became a mass-produced reality. “Paper Dresses Soon” announced the headline of a New York Times report from Paris in 1907.
The possibilities for men’s fashion and pop art are endless, and with designers popping up all over the place, men’s clothing will benefit from the injection of fresh designers, new ideas, merged with the iconic pop art genre started back in the 50s.The Big Ones for ’68 (1968), promotional paper dress for Universal Studios, with “pop” portraits of the Studio’s popular stars. Pop art is perfect for this, because it draws people in, and its designs are unique, bold and attention grabbing. Men’s fashion is currently all about being different, grabbing people’s attention through t-shirts, jumpers and the whole outfit. The partnership between men’s fashion and pop art will last for a long time yet This fusion of colour, shapes and words is exciting, and brings together many forms of art, from design to music, allowing a man to truly express himself through his clothes. A perfect example of this is taking the word of a particular city, printed on a t-shirt, and layering coloured shapes over the top, or it could be different sized lines, all of different colour. Another dimension to pop art in men’s fashion is the mixing of colours, shapes and designs in one print. Pop art isn’t all about using brands, films and famous quotes though. Whether it’s Superman, Batman, The Hulk or Iron Man, t-shirts and jumpers are being designed with this in mind, making men’s fashion as relevant as it can be. With the current desire for superhero films, and remakes being released left, right and centre, their influence on fashion can be seen quite clearly. Of course, pop art’s not just about bright colours. This type of striking symbolism is connected to pop art just think about the Warhol soup cans, or the Marilyn Monroe print, both used a mixture of bold colours to stand out, and draw people in, so to that end, men’s fashion can very much relate to this technique of boldness through fashion. Whether it’s a printed t-shirt of comic strips, a jumper with a famous quote on, the layering up of a red jumper and blue shirt, men’s fashion is very much being influenced by pop art, and this is particular relevant right now, as fashion is becoming increasingly influenced by art to expand and develop new ways for people to express their personality through what they wear.īeing bold through the fusion of bright colours is very much the order of the day for men’s fashion at the moment. Even in fashion today, Warhol’s work is featured on tops, bags, shoes, and anything else you can think of, with designers paying tribute to the man. Warhol fused art and fashion to create pop art, to bring together celebrity culture, fashion, art, and advertising. We can’t discuss pop art without mentioning arguably the most famous artist of this genre, Andy Warhol. Pop art takes the mundane and expresses this through fashion
