How Famous Art Pieces Have Influenced My Style

Yes, I’m talking about The Kiss.

POSTED BY JOSEPHINE ALLEN

Is it just me, or has The Kiss by Gustav Klimt been making waves among Gen Z lately? I’ve seen it on keyrings and bookmarks, Pinterest recreations with movie characters, and countless references to it on TikTok and Substack.

I’d go as far as to say that if I showed a random Gen Z TikToker or Substacker the color palette of yellows, golds, blacks, and greens, they could probably guess which art piece I was hinting at. So when I happened to thrift a yellow spotty top, I naturally wanted to create an outfit inspired by the painting.

 

 

I wore my yellow spotty top with a black waistcoat and green corduroy trousers. For such a wacky outfit, I actually felt really refined because I knew the look was my own special reference.

I definitely want to try more outfits inspired by famous art pieces. Van Gogh’s The Starry Night is another must. I’m envisioning myself twirling around a jazz bar in a navy dress with glittering gold jewelry.

If you also want to honor your inner art lover, here are the Fizzypicks I’d recommend.
