Contemporary Art Craze spills into Fashion
1st, Richard Prince for Louis Vuitton.
Now Fendi?
It’s not like Mondrian on YSL—Yves himself came up with the concept and incorporated it into the dressed.
Fendi and Chanel are auctioning off 20 bags customized by contemporary artists: Jeff Koons, Kendell Geers, Tom Sachs, Francesco Vezzoli, Subodh Gupta, and Sylvie Fleury. The auction is to raise money for AIDS research. It is held on March 22nd during the Cannes film festival and all major celebs attend.
Last year the amFAR event raised $7 million for AIDS research.
