While there are plenty of fall fashion trends that are sleek and subtle, there's a new craze that's looking to add some real-life art to your wardrobe. Thanks to brands like Loewe, graphic art has become the latest fashion trend that will remix your looks and bring some drama. If going to a gallery is your idea of a good day, this is the perfect movement to embrace your uniqueness and creativity.
Like fashion, art is subjective, meaning there are many ways to pull this trend off. Some will prefer a more obvious art piece, like a 3D sculptural detail that stands out. Others will go for a more minimalist fashion detail with paint stroke patterns, even if they stay in the realm of a neutral color palette. Whatever kind of graphic art you choose, it's vital to style your outfit with toned-down accessories, hair, and makeup to let your statement graphic art shine.
Go for contemporary graphic art
Contemporary art is known for being modern and in the now. These art forms reflect the present day and are the perfect way to add to your fall wardrobe. For example, the Abra Fall Winter 2023 collection showcased beautiful painted contemporary art in the form of portraits and figures that perfectly exemplify how to set up your seasonal closet (via Hypebeast). With contemporary artwork, let the designs speak for themselves by opting for simple hair and makeup.
Go for a risqué painting
Once again, Loewe, which is the number one brand of the moment, is at the forefront of fashion trends. Instead of going for something safe, opt for a suggestive and bolder art piece in your closet, like the brand's Gloves Printed Dress. Artwork like this adds subtle, risky details to your looks that still let you have that high-fashion moment. To avoid the risqué artwork falling flat, make sure that the rest of the dress is relatively plain.
Turn your looks into 3D art forms
Art not only consists of paintings in a frame; it can also be 3D pieces that give a much more dynamic feel. Bring this complexity into your fall wardrobe with intricate 3D details that make your clothing come to life. While a bit dramatic for the day-to-day wardrobe, Iris Van Herpen's Fall 2023 collection showcases how accents that pop out and flow from your pieces are the perfect statement. Add these 3D works of art to your outfit rotations when you're in need something dramatic and show-stopping. Pair them with vibrant color to double the show-stopping effect.
Add paint to a blank canvas
While any art in your fashion will stand out, playing with colors is vital if you want something high-impact. Once again turning to Loewe, the brand's Fall 2023 collection is the perfect example of how adding color, even to a white base, is more than enough for a visual contrast. Art fashion is sometimes about putting together the perfect look with a color contrast, and to get the complete art curator aesthetic in your fall looks, you'll need to mix and match saturated shades with white.
Rock some abstract pieces
Much like fashion, art can mean different things to different people. When choosing the next art piece you'll be rocking during the fall, there's no reason you can't go for an abstract piece that makes no sense to anyone else. Taking a cue from the Noir Kei Ninomiya Fall 2023 collection, your fall abstract pieces can be a mixture of different materials, colors, and patterns that don't follow a clear rule or style (via WWD). Again, remember to keep hair, makeup, and accessories simple to avoid an overwhelming ensemble.
Channel Renaissance paintings
For those looking for something more delicate and romantic, a Renaissance painting is the perfect place to get your fall inspiration. With soft color palettes and delicate prints, Renaissance paintings will make your fall wardrobe look like a dream. In its Autumn Winter 2023 collection, Rave Review gave the perfect example of mixing these soft feminine prints with a patchwork pattern for a pretty fall season. Pair with delicate jewelry and a feminine updo to nail the artistic aesthetic.
