Art Is Captured By Fashion?

When recalling the relationship between art and fashion, only half a century ago, people not only didn’t regard fashion as an art but also believed that it was the enemy of art. Although Any Warhol in the last 60’s printed clothes with pop patterns, Yves-Saint-Laurent designed famous Mondrian dress inspired by Piet Mondrian’s grid; these were only condiments of the fashion world. Artists and fashion workers seem to despise each other, which we can differentiate from their daily clothes. But now, no matter FIAC or Frieze Art Fair, the awareness of the whole group and composition structure of these several world level Art Expo are increasingly young. You may find more and more exhibition merchants, audience, artists, these arts mainstay are becoming the carrier of most popular elements. Looking around the art exhibition, you may find that all the modern clothes and jewelry which have just appeared on fashion shows appear in your eyes. Are you suspicious that whether you are at the door of famous brand? Popular element of snake grain is also on Frieze Art Fair, when an artist shifts art language to the shape and flag of fashion brand, how we can separate the fashion and art. Or, we can just say, it’s just business. Maybe any jewelry such as European beads, Pandora style beads can be called art. To a certain extent, fashion itself is a kind of art. It is with strong business feeling can caters to the market. But in terms of design, innovation and the pursuit of beauty, its strong capital is also positively correlated with creativity. Those beautiful clothes, hand-crafted leather goods, jewelry, who can say they are not pieces of fascinating art? Someone said that the earliest dialogue between fashion and art originated from Picasso and sailor’s striped shirt. Sailor’s striped shirt is fashionable at that time, while Picasso not only likes wear it but also injected this element into his paintings. LV has always been enthusiastic about fashion, in 1994, a Chinese artist created a painting which was related with LV to display the grade of his work. And in the decade later, LV used this picture to decorate its display window. Art works only bring topic to fashion industry? Of course not, its inherent artistic value can enhance the value of the goods, which gives more connotations to consuming taste, especially for expensive luxury. The injection of artists’ creative works into consumer goods is originally sublimation of fashion business value. It’s believed that art is captured by fashion; actually, they are developing hand in hand.
