Designers with their Muse/Maestro

Janelle Monae with Karl Lagerfeld

The fashion industry is no longer considered to isolate itself in its own realm of exclusive elites who sit sternly behind closed doors in far away locales and couturier salons. We all know this by now. Musicians and actors are collaborating with fashion designers in an unprecedented way, which brings the designs and the currency of fashion to the masses. So to are fashion designers looking to foster this process of bringing their talent closer to the common people- the largest group of media consumers, through their muses in the entertainment world. W Magazine recently created a shoot involving successful artists together- designer and muse. These stunning and quirky shots are a fabulous find and I just had to post.
