Do you consider fashion an art?

Fashion can tell you what people wore at a certain period just as pottery can tell you what their tea parties were like. I don't think the fact that these things were designed to be practical distinguishes them from fine art. You could say a painting is designed to go on the wall, but if it were made as a fresco, where it was part of the wall, would you say it was not art because it was practical?

 

Although fashion cannot be displayed in a frame it can tell you many things about what life was like in this period- much like art does. Fashion is simply art that people wear on their bodies.
"Fashion is not necessarily about labels. It’s not about brands. It’s about something else that comes within .
