At the spring 2018 shows,Miuccia Prada incorporated the work of nine female artists into Prada’s collection. Vintage comics, friendly spiders and manga characters were sprinkled on the expected T-shirts, but also on sharply tailored garments such as this incredible coat covered in a collage of comic panels. In one of her final collections at Céline, Phoebe Philo showed a vibrant collection with clashing prints. The pictured dress features a modern graphic print on the top and a print that takes inspiration from classic art on the skirt.
Both Donatella Versace and Raf Simons featured Andy Warhol prints in their collections, but in wildly different ways. In her exuberant show at Versace, which was dedicated to her brother Gianni on the 20th anniversary of his murder, Donatella used prints from the Versace archive, including the famous Marilyn Monroe Warhol print. It’s also available in a series of bags if outfit of it is too much for you. At Calvin Klein, chief creative officer Raf Simons began a multiyear partnership with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts in the spring 2018 collection, which meditated on the intersection of the American nightmare and the American dream. The pictured dress features Ambulance Disaster from Warhol’s Death and Disaster series.
