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.
