FASHION Magazine

When the art world and the fashion industry collide, you can expect nothing short of greatness, especially when it involves our favourite one-stop shop for luxury fashion, Net-A-Porter.

Working together with chief curator of contemporary art at New York’ National Arts Club, Stacy Engman, the e-commerce site is bringing art and fashion together for a made-to-order collection called the Art Capsul project. Coming from different art genres, the project features five worldwide known artists: Marina Abramovic, George Condo, Vik Muniz, Mickalene Thomas and Canada’s very own, Terence Koh.

Engman told WWD, “It is the first time this has ever been done. I’ve asked artists to conceive of garments that reference their artwork [and] that is entirely by them…there is no pairing with a fashion designer.”

The wearable art collection was exhibited last Wednesday at Paris’s Palais de Tokyo Museum during Couture Week.
