Style, Style, Style

by Andy Warhol

Style, Style, Style offers a catwalk of Andy Warhol's most striking fashion images - from period-costume drawings to sketches of glamorous accessories. These forty drawings, prints and watercolors - like those in the other books in this series - have been plucked from the archives of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and include never before published rarities as well as popular prints from Warhol's heyday. Filled with Warhol's droll quips and playful aphorisms, such as "Everything in your closet should have an expiration date on it the way milk and bread and magazines and newspapers do," this delightful book of style is a truly Warhol take on the fun of fashion and will dress up any bookshelf.

About the author

Andy Warhol was an American visual artist, film director and producer. A leading figure in the pop art movement, Warhol is considered one of the most important American artists of the second half of the 20th century. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, advertising, and celebrity culture that flourished by the 1960s, and span a variety of media, including painting, silkscreening, photography, film, and sculpture. Some of his best-known works include the silkscreen paintings Campbell's Soup Cans (1962) and Marilyn Diptych (1962), the experimental films Empire (1964) and Chelsea Girls (1966), and the multimedia events known as the Exploding Plastic Inevitable (1966–67).

Reviews

[Kym Moore]

A cute little book of some of Pop Artist Andy Warhol's most striking fashion images. Love these quotes by Andy Warhol: "If there's nothing there, clothes are certainly not going to make the man," and "Everything in your closet should have an expiration date on it the way milk and bread and magazines and newspapers do." That's so Andy!

[Apryl Anderson]

I found this little book quite intriguing; I'm so accustomed to seeing Warhol's Pop art, that I never noticed what a sweet and witty illustrator he was. Each page is an amusing vignette saying everything by saying nothing at all.

A slight book, beautifully illustrated and filled with fairly meaningless quotes in interesting typography, all surface, no depth. All in all a very representative book of Warhol.

[Lisa Springsteel]

Witty and provactive, this is the must-have book for fashion and Warhol lovers around the globe!

[Evelyn]

This is a short amusing book combining drawings by Andy Warhol with acerbic comments by him on the elements of style. Thrown together they are an excellent argument supporting the observation that clothes make the man or lady.
