Yves Klein Blue

Yves Klein blue is a prominent theme for "Fashion Is Art" dressing, inspired by the French artist who developed the rich pigment in 1960. Go for blue suiting, gowns, shoes, and even makeup. Take your cue from Eva Chen, the Meta Fashion Partnerships director, in Proenza Schouler; Brooke DeVard, the Chief Content Officer of Refinery29, in vintage Mugler; and creator Dylan Kelly in Luar.
