In the latest art fashion collaboration, Damien Hirst the infamous artist and marketeer is teaming up with Levi’s to launch a limited edition line of jeans and T shirts decorated with his art work. This will in fact be the second collaboration between Damien Hirst and Levi’s and will feature iconic Hirst imagery - butterflies, dots and skulls.

Levi’s jeans have had a long association with art, being worn by many artists including Pablo Picasso, Any Warhol and Damien Hirst himself. The idea of wearing art is no completely new Hirst was inspired in designing this collection by  a collection that Adrian Nyman made using Warhol’s art. The collection promises to be colourful, interesting and conversation provoking, as are all Damien’s creations. It is likely to be typical Damien Hirst and a bit like Marmite, you will either love it or hate it. I am reserving judgement until I get the opportunity to see a bit more of it.

If you prefer your Levi’s to be more traditional and classic, try these 572 standard fit, boot cut jeans.

This season, fashion and art merge into one, as clothes are decorated with all sorts of artistic designs from geometric prints to water colour washes and splashes, splatters and daubs. If you are into DIY fashion and customising your own clothes, then this is definitely the trend for you. Create your own unique masterpiece using fabric paints and pens on your choice of white garment. Get some inspiration from the catwalk shows.

At Chloe, three wide brush strokes in purple grey and black look simple and stylish on a short A line skirt.

At Dolce & Gabbana dresses were covered with multi coloured paint splashes for a bright and edgy feel.

At Moschino Cheap and Chic frilly dresses were decorated with graffiti like designs.

At Sportmax, this simple shift dress has a geometric pattern that looks like it was drawn with a ruler.
