Art is subject to arbitrary fashion.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Fashion is not separate from art. It is inextricably woven into how we open ourselves to the world and articulates the exchanges of power both real and imagined.
Unlike fashion, art isn't applied. It doesn't have to serve anybody. It doesn't have to be there for any other reason than to give an impression of what the world is about.
I think that, like any art, fashion is about expression. It allows you to express yourself and your identity through what you choose to wear.
Art is not a thing; it is a way.
Art is the way people see things, and I think it's great when individuals can find in fashion something they truly believe is artistic.
Behind the criticism of fashion as an artistic medium is a highly ideological prejudice: against markets, against consumers, against the dynamism of Western commercial society. The debate is not about art but about culture and economics.
Fashion is not art. Fashion is a business that requires discipline and attention to detail and very organized systems of logistics and operations and processes. But even with the most smoothly oiled machine to manage the business, without creativity, fashion could not exist.
Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.
Art is Art. Everything else is everything else.
Fashion is not art. Never.
