Art vs Fashion: Bob Krieger

Bob Krieger is an Italian photographer, who has been recognized worldwide, for his work in fashion and portraiture.  Krieger exudes his passion for neoclassical art, which is the classical revival in European art, architecture, and interior design, through his work. His work is exhibited at the Museo Palazzo Reale in Milan, which is where I visited today.  
Below is a painting of one of his works that was part of this exhibit, and a similar work of art through fashion.

Looking past the color similarities and more towards the element of texture and shape, the Triton skirt from the Sao Paulo runway for Spring/Summer 2012, and the art work of Krieger, both have a two tone color and demonstrate similar textures between the hair in the eyebrow and the feathers on the skirt.  There are faded and blurred lines of the persons skin and of gold that create a focus to the eye.  It noticed that for the skirt the same idea is captured in the lines on the white fabric.  The comparison of Krieger's art and Tritions fashion focus on the similar textures of the eyebrow and feather as well as the accents to the main attention grabbers in each works, which are the gold line and the lines around the skirt.
