Vito Acconci and Stephen Shore, both artists featured in the MoCP collection, joined five other male artists in modeling for the recent J. Crew catalogue. (Fingers crossed that J. Crew will do a follow up with female artists for the spring catalogue.) Via brief interviews with the artists, J. Crew reveals some of their creative inspirations and discusses their personal styles.
In response to the relationship between art and fashion, Shore says that “both share the common creative structure of all expressive endeavors: some people move the discipline forward incrementally; a few change the basic terms of the discipline and establish a new paradigm.” And Acconci shares the one article of clothing he couldn’t live without: shoes.
Read the interviews and see the artists’ studios.
