Warhol had a big influence in the Pop Art movement that it was able to find its way into the fashion industry and change it forever. Through his fascination with the topic of consumerism and celebrity idols, he created pieces such as “Campbell’s Soup Cans'' and portraits such as of “Marilyn Monroe'' that managed to look so unique and colorful that it inspired many fashion designers to adopt his techniques into their own creations. It made the fashion industry take a step back and re-evaluate exactly what they were creating. Warhol’s colorful pieces quite literally “popped” out to the eye, which is what the fashion industry wished to achieve with their own products to look appealing to the public. His ideas were then seen on catwalks with industries like Calvin Klein and Versacce, holding events where they display Warhol's pieces on several pieces of clothing. A couple of examples includes his “Campbell’s Soup Cans” painting being made into a dress by fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castlebajacs and his “Marilyn Monroe” painting being made into a gown by Naomi Campbell.
