Many people just get dressed in the morning. Others dress themselves with living art: Designer clothes. I think the name says it all. Designer Clothes: They are designed by someone or a group of someones. Each season the designer is inspired by something new in their world and brings this inspiration to that seasons clothes. On a recent trip to Paris I was lucky enough to go see the Christian Lacroix runway show. The top picture is of Mr. Lacroix with his last model as they make the final walk. Just like a sculptor sculpts and a painter paints, designers design and sew. And just like original art, it is expensive, but it also can appreciate in value and many times will turn into a collectible.
For Spring 2009, Christian Lacroix was inspired by Spanish bull fighting which is quite evident in the middle photo, which when worn together is quite evident. This outfit could be considered a runway or concept piece though as well. In the bottom photo you can see the subtle evolution between his inspiration and a very wearable piece.
Fashion is art, and anyone that disagrees is uninformed, sometimes referred to as ignorant. Take a closer look.
