Artists and fashion designers have been impressed by each other’s professional concerns, styles, production techniques, creations and copied each other since for many years. The borders between art and fashion disciplines beginning to blur from last period of the 19th century have been wiped up widely since second half of the 20th century. This blurring which increased with impact of the initial signs of the postmodernism was seen intensively between Pop Art creating a tremendous impression in 1960s, holding in high esteem ordinary ready-made objects and commodity, commercializing art and fashion.

Art and fashion have been joined in this commodity group. Consumption has surpassed production in postmodern era when culture has been commodified and continuous being on displayed of cultural artifacts via mass media in order to easily reach to consumers has aggrandized popular culture.
