Different Strokes

Fashion and art have always mingled. But this season is less about shelling out for yet another limited-edition designer-artist collab and more about channeling the great masters themselves. Dior Homme and Hermes are using scribbles, blotches, and brushstrokes to breathe new life into ready-to-wear, their evocative prints suffusing wardrobe staples with a sense of gloriously messy whimsy. Dip into their daring palettes and you'll paint a vivid picture of just how inspired, confident, and adventurous you are. Because, in the end, what is art if not taking risks?
