34 May 2014 www.womanthismonth.com FASHION Art is Fashion The new collection from Splash celebrates art in the world of fashion. The brand revisits the pop art movement, surrealism and tribal artistry. This season is all about dressing with attitude. For Splash’s SS 2014 show, the catwalk was transformed into an art gallery; the concept was well expressed in the stylish creations. Detailed styling transformed each look, turning casual pieces into masterpieces. The pop art aspects were influenced by the works of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. So you can find garments with artwork in a strong palette of primary colours and bold geometric patterns. Clean, modern lines plus different textures help to create an art theme that suits the urban woman. Sheer set against solids, shiny materials alongside matte finishes, and embellishments applied in clean lines are trendy contrasts to go for this season. Prints and bold designs with photo-real surrealist collages are used in formal jackets, casual tees and sweaters. Brush strokes stand out as one of the strongest trends of summer. Tribalism is another popular theme that reappears with a contemporary twist, featuring flashes of neon and body conscious silhouettes. The new range of accessories complements these original looks. You’ll discover ‘fruity’ neckpieces, clutches with raffia fringes and oversized tassels.
