LASTING IMPRESSION
Before there were Campbell’s
soup cans, there were shoes—lots of them, in Bazaar and elsewhere. Andy Warhol’s early illustrations took already fashionable slingbacks, kitten heels, and mules to new heights, sprinkled across white space or bursting from stars. And his stylish sketches went far beyond footwear: The godfather of Pop also drew perfume bottles, jewels, faces, and flowers. More than half a century later, Raf Simons found inspiration in the colourful images for his Fall 2013 collection at Dior, showing dresses and bags stamped with the artist’s vintage works. One of our favourite accessories—a lilac tote boasting one slender gilt heel—echoes some of Warhol’s most fabulous creations for Bazaar.
