"BUT ISN'T THAT ART, SURELY ITS NOT FASHION?"

The more I mature, the more I realise we all have our own opinions and passions. Sometimes I overhear people make these comments that touch a feeling inside of me. More then anything these comments make me think, because everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Art and design. Encapsulating fashion, drawing, styling, fine art, architecture, graphics, music, photography. For me all these things and many more fall together in the end, they all inspire one another and in my beliefs for something to be 'fashion' it does not mean that someone, the average person would wear it on a daily basis, it doesn't mean it should be comfortable or acceptable within society. For me there are no rules, we can put anything on the body, this is proven with other cultures using every day objects for their own take on fashion. As much as I love wearable clothing and the classical designs I am also forever amazed by the less wearable and statement clothing, whether it be made from cloth or other materials. This type of fashion also stems down into highstreet fashion, by being tamed down into more wearable clothing.

In my mind there are fine lines, at the end of the day they all fall into the same area, they all interest me and they all influence my work. I don't believe in rules of what someone should wear or shouldn't. We should celebrate individuality, and as fashion has such power why not use it to make a statement?
