Gil Carvalho boldly brings fashion to the world of art. A graduate from The London College of Fashion and shoe designer for the likes of Madonna, Kylie and Fergie, Carvalho creates outlandish, brightly coloured prints that centre around the iconic be that the Hermès Birkin Bag or the Queen herself. Carvalho’s stylish prints are conceived through a range of media, including screen printing, photography and digital art, to create an utterly desirable aesthetic. ‘Birkin Bill’ brings together two icons in this pop art meets fashion print the Birkin Bag has been faithfully reproduced in one dollar bills, against a flat, grey background. To finish the look, the edges of the bag have been fuzzed with Ben Day dots to make Lichtenstein proud. It’s loud and brash, while disarmingly minimal, in a way that works to striking effect.
