Fashion Truth: I Spy..

The Christian Dior Resort 2014 collection reflected numerous art movements along with artists. Whether Raf Simons deliberately made a collection filled with art references or he just happens to be as brilliant as legendary artists does spark curiosity. Whatever the case this collection is filled with art. So let's play a round of I spy.

I spy an enormous amount of abstract expressionism in this Dior collection, from the color palettes to the quick-brush-stroke-like-lines on the dresses. There is a lot of YK blue gracing the runway. YK blue stands for the artist Yves Klein. He was known for using a specific shade of blue in his work and it eventually was named Yves Klein blue or YK blue. I also spy some Franz Kline inspiration. Franz Kline was another abstract expressionist who was known for only using black and white. His work looked like a canvas of quick fluid brush strokes. The garments in the Dior collection have similar strokes. Although the garments are in color, they do resemble Franz Kline's work. Another abstract expression artist I spot in this collection is Jackson Pollock. His work tends to look like splattered paint. A few pieces in this collection remind me of Pollock's work. I also spy a hint of futurism. In this collection there is an orange coat with sharp grey prints that resembles futurism. The shape and colors of the coat gives it a futurism feel. This Dior collection has a plethora of colors and art references from YK blue to impressionism art.

This Dior collection exudes art from beginning to end. If one wants to see how many art references they can make just pop on over to this collection and start your own game of I spy!
