Classic Christian Dior - 1947 Convergence of fashion and sculpture Most famous fashion designers interact with art and reflect trends through their designs. The modernist curved art forms and abstract lines of the 40's, 50's and 60's could be clearly recognized in the avant-garde and Space Age designs of Pierre Cardin, as witnessed in his trapeze coats, bubble dresses, hat-sculptures and asymmetrical collars.

Egyptian-figure-vase New Kingdom, mid-Dynasty 18 1435–1380 B.C.
