Fashion and art have always been observing and influenced by one and other, during the past decades one looked to the other as a source of inspiration, now the direction is one sided. We can see from the earlier experiences of the Raphaelites, from the modernity brought by the futurist, from the originality of the surrealists to the Radical Fashion. Salvatore Ferragamo was one of the first designers that linked together art and fashion, he was in fact inspired by the artistic avant garde of the 1900.

Designers who focus on sustainable fashion are getting very popular. The names are Katie Jones, Faustine Steinmetz, David Hieatt, Jos Van Tilburg, Yvon Chouinard, Lina Mayorga and Claire Dartigues. These designers are all similar in the way that they care about environmental issues. With using sustainable fabrics and methods, they all make creative clothing while not harming the earth.
