Think Geek recently came out with this fashionable sci-fi dress that combines the storyline of BBC's series Doctor Who with the look and style of a Vincent Van Gogh painting. The end result is a super stylish dress that combines geeky pop culture with a classic form of painting.

Van Gogh was known for his modern perspectives and swirly brushstroke painting style. In this dress by Think Geek [Van Gogh's style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-van-gogh-musum) is infused with the themes of Doctor Who to create a [wearable dress design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shirt-dress-collection) that fuses two very different aspects of pop culture. The dress features a print of the infamous navy blue time traveling phone booth, called the TARDIS, depicted in Van Gogh's outlandishly swirly painting style.
