On the eve of the Tate Modern’s major new exhibition showcasing Picasso’s ‘year of wonder’, 1932: Love, Fame and Tragedy, the Vulture Fashion team and photographer Domininkas Žalys sought inspiration from the life and works of Pablo Picasso. Through abstract and artistic creations, we reflect the enduring impact of his style on the arts as a collective and interconnected entity.

We have also recreated some of his friend Frida Kahlo’s style to celebrate her lasting influence. Although their work is bound to canvas and frame, the reach of their aesthetic identity is eternally felt in the world of fashion.
