Fashion; Art or Usability

I believe the fashion is both a work of art and usability. Most of the pieces that you would see walking down the runway are a work of art and you wouldn’t wear these out every day. You would wear these to special events such as The Red Carpet, a fancy get together, or possibly even your wedding. I think that some of the pieces that are displayed on the runway, most people wouldn’t even wear out in public, maybe unless it was Halloween. Maybe a piece like this one from Betsy Johnson’s 2009 Spring collection; This in my opinion is not something you would see someone wearing every day, or at all. It is a very elaborate piece and draws a lot of attention to it. Thought there is nothing wrong with this, it might just be drawing attention for the wrong reasons.
Here is another piece that I think is a piece of art that if I saw someone wearing it outside of a fashion show, I would have to take a second look and think that either they are getting paid a lot of money to wear that or they have just lost their minds. - D&G, most likely this looks cost a couple thousand dollars, it just doesn’t grab my attention is a pretty way.


Other pieces are for everyday wear, such as the grocery store, or a walk in the park, or just for work. There are some great outfits that are very professional and also appropriate for everyday wear. The high end fashion is also greatly well made and will last for years on in. Here are some pictures of everyday wear that I enjoyed looking at.

- This is an adorable outfit that can be dressed up with a cute pair of heels that is shown here or even flats for a more casual look.

Though none of these outfits you would wear gardening in the yard or washing a car, you can always be fashionable for those kinds of things as well. Probably a cute little workout suit and a pair of tennis shows that you don’t mind getting dirty would do the job.
