Sneaker released in very limited quantities — only 50 pairs. On the French market, the price is 180 euros. Design white Garçonne et Chérubin, of course, very recognizable. Brand dripping postwar American abstract expressionism of Jackson Pollock read from 10 meters.

Still. Pollock — is one of the most famous and expensive artists of the world. It's funny that in this case it is not included in world official top-10. How so? And it's simple. Those 140 million dollars, which we all remember — is the sum of private transactions (David Geffen has sold a masterpiece collector David Martinez). But significantly the amount of these sales is unknown, so the official standings, it is customary to include only public (i.e., auction) results. A ticket to the world's top ten today is $87 million, and the current auction record for Pollock is $ 58,4 million

French Garçonne et Chérubin is not the first firm who called in the aid of art. Now we are seeing just wave collaborations — cooperation brands from the worlds of fashion and art. One of the recent — the joint collection of Japanese UNIQLO and the new-йоркского Museum of modern art MOMA. Now in the Museum and in the stores you can buy t-shirts with prints of Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Sol LeWitt, etc. With the shoes this is also not the only example. The first thing that comes to mind — is sneakers in 2012, a collection issued in the style of Jean-Мишеля Basquiat. By the way, in those days, Basquiat had not yet come to the top-10 the most expensive artists of the world. And imagine that in five years the auction price of his paintings will exceed $110 million, it was absolutely impossible.

Ideas from the art world periodically adopting and Russian designers. Recall, for example, form of the Russian Olympic team Bosco made in the style of Russian avant-garde, inspired by the designs of Rodchenko and Stepanova. And recently, the designer Ghosh Rubchinskiy did for Adidas collection in the style of the Suprematist compositions of Malevich.
