GUSTAV KLIMT’S CREATIVITY AND ITS IMPACT ON XX CENTURY FASHION

Abstract

Secessionism from the beginning of the XX century offered a new option for the creation and interpretation of art through a unique individual expression of the artist that was the result of the coming changes in society. Gustav Klimt, one of the most striking representatives of Viennese secessionism, with his lifestyle and style of creation through combining techniques, has made changes in art, not always accepted in every segment, but with long-term consequences for the development of art and fashion. In a fashion sense, Klimt presented not only a new artistic expression but also paved the way of a modern contemporary woman. He was breaking social frames and norms, which was a link to the emerging fashion of the new age inevitably. The work was created with the idea of a brief overview and analysis of Gustav Klimt's creative work with elements of influence on the development of novelties in the design of clothing from the beginning, but also in the last decades during the XX century, from clothing, textile design to fashion accessories. Essential elements such as decorative ornaments and their combination through a combination of cold and warm colors enriched with gold tones have become authentic motifs imbued with the warmth of floral form and the mystique of geometrization.
