Today's merging of art and fashion is in large measure the legacy of Andy Warhol. This book, which accompanies a major exhibition opening at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, shows the decisive impact of his work on fashion and glamour and how that involvement and the "Warhol Style" have powerfully influenced contemporary art. Drawing on the peerless collection and archive of The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, The Fashion Show takes us on a grand tour of Warhol's passion for the swank and the chic: the publicity stills of Marilyn Monroe that he collected and ultimately transformed into his celebrated silkscreen portraits; his delightful fashion drawings of the 1950s; photographs of his department store window displays; the "Silver Factory" works of the 1960s that blurred the lines between the avant-garde and popular culture; his explorations of gender identity; and Interview magazine and the downtown club scene, epicenters of style and trendsetting.

For anyone who loves fashion, glamour, and Andy Warhol, here is the art book of the year.
