FASHION => ART => FASHION | JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT
(via FLAVORWIRE)
By the mid-80s Basquiat — the first black American artist to achieve international art stardom — was collaborating with Andy Warhol and partying hard in downtown circles that included Julian Schnabel, Keith Haring, and Madonna (his one-time girlfriend). According to legend, the enfant terrible would paint barefoot in expensive Armani suits, and then go out clubbing in the same paint-splattered outfits. Practical or the height of excess chic?
