# Classic Couture Makeovers The Fashion Art of Jason Alper Literally Stylizes the Classics By Armida Ascano | Published 2010-10-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jason-alper References: [trendland.net](http://trendland.net/2010/10/25/jason-alper-fashion-art/) & [guyhepner](http://www.guyhepner.com/artists/jason-alper) Jason Alper is an inventive artist who has made a name for himself by infusing classic art and pop culture with couture references. The result is shocking and may be offensive to some, which I suspect is exactly the result Alper is hoping to attain through his works. Regardless, the series is tons of fun and completely avant-garde.
