Picasso inspired garments from the 2002 Yves St. Laurent runway show
Wendell Rodricks’ Spring/Summer 2010 collection, ‘The Cubist’, which showcased at the WIFW, has been inspired by the Cubist Movement of the 20th century, which began with the likes of Pablo Picasso and was later developed by Juan Gris and others.
The Cubists broke from centuries of tradition in their painting by rejecting the single viewpoint. Instead they used an analytical system in which three-dimensional subjects were fragmented and redefined from several different points of view simultaneously.
The movement was conceived as 'a new way of representing the world', and assimilated outside influences, such as African art, as well as new theories on the nature of reality, such as Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
