Finding Art in Fashion

Nearly one hundred percent of today's fashion designers would take umbrage with the notion that their vocation is anything less than an art. Even the phrase "Fashion Industry" seems so out of date in today's marketplace, akin to arcane bits of lexicon like "Cinemascope" or "Horseless Carriage". Of course fashion is art - one need not be a casual fan of Lady Gaga to understand that.

High-Definition Fashion

Fabrics, compared to a century ago, are more supple and easy to work with, and the processes of printing and dyeing have expanded right along with the rest of the digital universe. The demand for high-end clothing, shoes and accessories can only grow with more and more nations emerging from the developing world. As fashion has become more lucrative, some of our brighter and more amibitious minds have applied their talents in that direction.

Mixed Mediums

It is in the area of women's designer shoes that some of the most artistic visions are brought to fruition. Shoes seem to lend themselves to a higher threshold when it comes to the use of design elements than dresses, handbags or anything else. The integration of jewelry into shoe design is nothing new, and the combination of materials is endless. It's one thing to have flowers mounted to the top of your shoes - how about replaceable ones, so you can color-match whatever else you're going to be wearing?

The value of women's designer shoes as works of art can be readily noticed in some of the prices, which can be compared with those of paintings, sculptures and exotic automobiles. For instance, Stuart Weitzman's Cinderalla Slippers (which were worn by vocalist Alison Krauss at the 2004 Academy Awards) are valued at $2 million. They were made with a total of 565 Kwiat diamonds - anyone want to trade for a Picasso?
