Label Text:Intersections of art and fashion were common during the 1960s. This coordinating coat and dress are directly reminiscent of minimalist art. Minimalism concentrated on material, shape, and color, while rejecting a narrative. Design elements such as grids and repetition were often used by minimalists and fashion designers alike.
