Fashion and Art

The discussion of
VOGUE, and fashion in general, should be less about anyone’s external perception of it, but rather that it is simply a different reality. It is world of $15,000 dresses and trips to Paris and New York, a world where a $300 pair of designer heels is considered a bargain. While this may seem to be disgusting excess in a time of such economic instability, you have to look at it as you would any other art form. As a popular
magazine,
VOGUEfunctions as a journalistic and artistic publication, an example of very expensive and high powered industries of both
business and
art.
Fashion design is a form of wearable art. If people are willing to spend millions and millions of dollars on a
Jackson Pollock painting that will simply hang on the wall, how is it any more ridiculous to spend $5,000 on an Oscar de la Renta dress that functions as a ready-to-wear representation of the designers’ vision? Rather than viewing fashion shows as skeletal women in overpriced, unwearable clothes, why not view it as a unique art form displayed on its own, moving canvas?
