PAINT SPLATTER
Jackson Pollock from art to fashion
by KOD Staff
Jackson Pollock is back in fashion. This season, the paint splatter was found lurking in the collections of Raf Simons and Hunter Gather. Against a backdrop of trending politics – many designers made racism the theme of AW14 – Simons and Hunter Gather’s David Bradshaw turned to the anarchy of abstract expressionism instead. From the catwalk to the pages of Vogue, we trace the influence of Pollock on fashion throughout the years.
