Exploring Fashion Through Abstract Art

Rotraut’s Feliz Red, 2017. Elephant Pink, 2010. Untitled Metallic Green, 2016.
The fashion shoot that explores the overlap between the arts.

This photoshoot explored the overlapping nature of abstract art and the human body. In this photoshoot, we wanted to convey the similarities of shape and fluidity that can be seen on both canvas and sculpture and compare it to the beautiful movements of expression through dance, ultimately showcasing the human body as a work of art itself.

Rainbow Bridge, 2021 by Rotraut.

The idea for this spread was inspired by the stunning sculptures produced by the famous artist Rotraut. After meeting with her in the summer, a vision of creativity swarmed my head, and thus, the fashion shoot was born.

For some of the shots, crane companies were involved in moving the sculptures into place, creating a “forest of art.” The close collaboration between the ICONIC LIFE Team and the artist played a crucial role in the successful execution of this endeavor.

We were also able to step into a new world with Christopher Cichocki’s Nucleus exhibition at de Sarthe Gallery in Scottsdale. 

Multiple mediums of artistry were conveyed in this shoot to make the point that art is and always will be, in fashion.
