AVANT POP!
According to wikipedia.org, AVANT POP is an American artistic movement
derived from postmodernism in the 1990s. Avantpop is characterized by the use of materials coming from the mass media (cinema, pop music, television, comics, internet, videogames), that are mostly assembled in literary texts where avantgarde techniques and devices are also applied.
Stylishlyme.com says “Avant pop combines animated hues with abstract
art. bold prints and daring fabric manipulation. This expressive theme fuses
eye-popping visuals with Surrealist imagery, as experimentation in art and
design present unlikely juxtapositions. Asymmetric silhouettes and Pop
Art-inspired faces are accentuated by jewel embellishments for a 3-dimensional
hyper-realism effect, white textured fabrics, bright colors, outlandish motifs
and mixed media elements create a walking art gallery.”
The key
items for this avant pop trend are asymmetric wrap skirts, boxy jackets and
graphic sweatshirts. Look for artistic applique and pieced construction. For
print and patterns look for pop art, art studio and surrealist designs.
§ Colors: Active
brights. Electric blue, shamrock green, sun yellow, and poppy red.
