Usability/Art

I believe fashion is the fusion of art and usability.  At one point or the other it has to be worn by someone right?  When art is referred to in fashion, it is usually a physical description of the outfit.  All that are considered could be the style, color, structure, or even something attached that makes the fashion unique.  On the other hand, the usability of fashion depends on the occasion that it would be worn in.  The right usability is one that the outfit will stand out in a positive way rather than making the wearer look ludacris.  

In the Milan fashion show, the designers toned down the art in the clothes.  To everyone's surprise, the style is quite wearable.  Known to be one of the most creative in exaggerating the art of fashion,  Milan, still compromises a good deal of art by using odd structures with the flexibility of the fabrics.  Though it's a disappointment to my imagination, I fell in love with the colors used in Milan this year.  Very subtle, sheer, and elegant.

Just for you all to know, this is my first time sketching a design, don't be too harsh!  I got inspired by my own body and noticing all my flaws allow myself to enhance my good qualities and hide the bad ones.  In the design that follow, the top I imagine, would be persian blue.  The scarf would be white silk to bring out the blue top.  The layering of the top gives texture to the simple design, it should hug the waist and extend outward at the bottom, giving the person nice curves.  Dark skinny jeans should be worn with the top, to maintain structure and keeping the person slim.
