Fashion as Art

Fashion is filled with
artistic elements. Without color, line, texture, and a designer's creativity, we might all be wearing white hospital gowns! All of the different shapes and patterns, the material mix of silks, cottons, wool, and even garbage (see picture below right), work together to create a unique piece of art to wear! Like more widely recognized art mediums, there are different fashion styles. Couture is the fine art of fashion, while some fashion resembles folk art, tackles a social issue, resembles nature, or is made to convey emotion. Add endless varieties of hairstyles, accessories, makeup and shoes and the final product is art.
