I love Picasso. Like, i really love Picasso. So much so, that i painted Girl Before a Mirror on my bedroom wall when i was 17. At the time my mom warned me that id be sick of it in a couple of weeks but every day when i wake up im still completely in love with it.
It's a little bit like how i dress, plain base, with lots of colour. Another example of art influencing fashion is the Yves Saint Laurent dress inspired by the work of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. I just love how the different coloured fabrics are all pieced together by the grid seams.

the piet mondrian piece is my favourite piece of art ever i saw the orginal in london in the v and a and i was drooling over it! It practically started the whole obsession with geometric shapes that the bauhaus had.
nike brought out trainers and i think vidal sassoon use the squares in some of there products as well!
