Featuring over 160 of the world’s leading contemporary art galleries, the 12th edition of the Frieze Art Fair hit the grounds on 15th October in London. A hub of international super-consumers who are look forward to gracing their edgy installations despite their investment portfolios, the four day exhibition is an effective platform for the emerging artists, designers and numerous other talents to showcase their creativity.
Catering to the fashion industry as well, this year the art fair involves some of the leading fashion houses like Gucci, Selfridges and Alexander McQueen to name a very few.
Speaking of some of the highly creative and experienced artists, Phoebe Collings-James is the one to look for! For her, fashion and feminism refuse to be exclusive, wherein most of her paintings are informed by her experiences as a model.
Cindy Sherman is amongst the other exhibitors, the one who has been a great fan of Marc Jacobs, Rei Kawakubo, Stella McCartney, Marni and Narciso Rodriguez. Her photography is known to be sold for several millions, which is basically the major reason for her binge shopping at Marni. For her, fad with fashion and art with artists is a great accessory!
Sylvie Fleury, on the other hand is a die-heart fan of contemporary fashion. She has shot beams of light through sculptures of boots bought on Net-a-Porter.com, and displayed luxury shopping bags as installation art.
Artist Marina Abramovic is known to be entirely committed to her practice, and is a big fan of Givenchy. For her, Riccardo Tisci is for me the most inventive designer of the moment.
Last but not the least, Polly Morgan is someone who favours sleekly luxurious clothes – Tod’s, Joseph, Céline, Les Chiffoniers – as well as arresting conversational gambits.
Thus, the Frieze Art Fair 2015 is surely going to be a one stop destination wherein vistiors can experience the epitome of the glamorous world of fashion and the antiquity of works from some of the highly creative artists!
