When art gets invited onto the runway: Raf Simons and Sterling Ruby
Fashion
Since the beginning of haute couture, fashion and art have woven close ties as with the creations of Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dalí or the Yves Saint Laurent dresses that pay homage to Piet Mondrian. Over the last ten years, the relationship between these two disciplines has intensified with runways being used as the new meeting ground. Thus, within the context of these ephemeral spaces presenting new collections, contemporary artists and designers are making extraordinary and memorable installations. Today, we look back at the decors imagined by Sterling Ruby for the Raf Simons and Calvin Klein runway shows.
