Painting has always been a great inspiration for the fashion industry, the link between fashion and painting was formed when the famous designer Yves Saint Laurent introduced the impressive Mondrian dresses in 1965.
With extreme creativity, designers take advantage of the drawings to translate into costumes in a subtle way. Following the Fall Winter 2014-15 fashion runways, one can see the inspiration from paintings as well as modern art schools that have a wide influence, which are expressed very skillfully by designers through costumes and accessories.
1. Flying streaks of color
Standing out among the “forest” of digitally printed designs are poetic lines of paintings. Watercolours and vivid drawings not only honor cultural values but also contain passionate inspiration and moments of sublime art. Proving the revival of craftsmanship in the digital age, Burberry Prorsum under the direction of designer Christoper Bailey has brought fresh inspiration from the lively and airy hand-drawn lines through the designs in the Fall Winter 2014-15 collection.

2. Pop-art painting
If you are passionate about painting, surely the art movement called pop-art is no longer strange. The pop-art trend of Fall Winter 2014-15 revolves around familiar comic book characters, cartoon characters or even popular logos and products. With familiar and lively materials, designers have brought interesting designs that leave unforgettable impressions.

While pop-art focuses on exploiting popular, familiar images, op-art creates visual effects on clothing. The mark of op-art through the designs of Fall Winter 2014-15 is clearly shown through the outstanding patterns and colors.

| In the Fall Winter 2014-15 collection, Valentino heavily exploited geometric patterns that trick the eye with stripes, checks, polka dots mixed with colorful tones. |
 |
| The color blocks are arranged randomly with contrasting tones to create an impressive visual effect. |
