The Hamilton Spectator: LVMH, the luxury conglomerate with Vuitton and Dior in its stable, will build a contemporary art museum in Paris. MAC cosmetics serves up burlesque glamour girl Dita von Teese at a swank dinner at Art Basel Miami. And suddenly, dead artists are at the centre of a major holiday campaign and a luxury designer product launch.
The mutual admiration between art and fashion is turning into a full-on love fest.
For the holidays, Barneys New York launched the ultimate art meets fashion marketing blitz working with the Warhol Foundation on Pop Art windows, shopping bags, a special pair of Levi's, even actual cans of Campbell Soup at $12 each.
Portraits of the artist by schoolchildren are being exhibited and sold in stores to benefit local arts programs.
"Everyone has been talking Warhol -- two documentaries, skyrocketing auction prices, the imminent Edie Sedgwick movie. It was the perfect year for us to have a Happy Warhol-iday," said Simon Doonan, the store's creative director.
"Everybody wants to be cool and groovy and there is this nagging feeling that nobody was more
cool and groovy than Andy."
