Fashion Fact of the Day: Andy Warhol - The Designer?


When most people hear the name Andy Warhol they automatically think of Campbell's Soup and pop art, because I know I definitely did, but after doing some research I now know him as Andy Warhol, the designer.


In the 1960s after becoming famous as an fashion illustrator and visual merchandiser, Andy Warhol reinvented himself as a fashion designer. 
Much like is art, Andy Warhol's designs consisted of paper (paper dresses) and everyday used brands. After reading becoming friends with fashion editor Diane Vreeland, he gained tips on how to run a fashion magazine and launched his style magazine titled Interview that featured his designer friends Halston and Elsa Peretti. What do you think of his magazine Interview? It is still up and running.
