# Abstract Art Apparel Holzweiler's Collaboration with Ernesto Artillo Pushes Design Boundaries By Jana Pijak | Published 2015-09-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holzweiler References: [lanciatrendvisions](http://www.lanciatrendvisions.com/en/article/ernesto-artillo-for-holzweiler-art-you-can-wear) & [holzweileragency](http://holzweileragency.com) 'The Exhibition Collection' by [Holzweiler's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holzweiler-3) celebrates the [abstract art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shape-of-play) of Ernesto Artillo and is loosely inspired by the work of icons like Pablo Picasso. The young artist's cubist imagery is displayed on a set of imaginative garments that push style boundaries -- what started as a 5-piece jacket collection has extended into organza dresses and exaggerated tops. Holzweiler's latest lookbook highlights tattered and layered pieces that are juxtaposed against a plain white backdrop. These images are also infused with Artillo's [contemporary illustrations and collages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei) that give each portrait a playful flair. Boasting a myriad of eye-catching garments, 'The Exhibition Collection' by Holzweiler and Ernesto Artillo is featured in Curador's latest issue and will also be on display at retailer Fornebu S. for a limited time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Abstract Art Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore collaborations with contemporary artists to create unique and boundary-pushing fashion collections. - **Cubist Inspired Designs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate cubist elements into various product lines to create visually striking and avant-garde designs. - **Illustration and Collage in Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate contemporary illustrations and collages into fashion pieces, creating visually engaging and art-inspired garments. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embrace collaborations between fashion designers and artists to push the boundaries of traditional fashion. - **Artistic Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create curated retail experiences that feature limited-time displays of artistically inspired fashion collections. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new fabric production techniques and materials to bring abstract art-inspired designs to life in the fashion industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Cartoon Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenny-scharf-and-axel.md) - [Art-Inspired Streetwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitesse.md) - [Art-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keith-haring-x-albino-preto.md) - [Artist-Themed Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buttercloth.md) - [Avant-Garde High Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens.md) - [Vibrantly Abstract Rug Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstraction-collection.md) - [Playful Abstract Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shape-of-play.md) - [Artist-Inspired Sweaters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lee-x-basquiat.md) - [Art-Inspired Streetwear Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silent-echoes.md)
