The Complete Textiles and Fashion
This visually stunning book is the first to document Andy Warhol’s graphically charged and occasionally whimsical work in textiles and fashion in their entirety.
Spanning more than three decades, this book highlights a little-known but influential aspect of Warhol’s creative output: his inventive use of printed fabrics and wearable design. From roller-printed cottons and border patterns in the 1950s to screen-printed garments in the ’70s and ’80s, these works reveal the foundations of his Pop aesthetic.
The book showcases Warhol’s collaborations with manufacturers and designers, including projects with Stephen Sprouse, Halston, and Interview magazine. It also includes promotional pieces, garments made from his textiles, and rare ephemera that place these creations within the broader context of mid-century and postmodern design.
Warhol expert Paul Maréchal offers fresh insight into how these works blurred the line between art and commerce, long before artist–brand collaborations became the norm. His engaging text repositions Warhol not as a conventional fashion figure, but as a visual innovator who reimagined how patterns, products, and popular culture could intersect.
