Since the inception of commercial art, the debates over the inter-mingling margin and roles of fashion with that of art are intense. Accept it or not, Art, design and fashion, all these terms confused us whenever we were to pick definitions. No matter what you try, which logic you imply, there’s always a chance of hitting some exception on your way. But we are not talking about how big of intensified this debate could be, we are focussing on the exception part.


Yes! Here’s a list of top 9 fashion/items that are considered Art now-a-days and you can’t deny their position. The Metropolitan Museum of Art curated these wearable garments and now the world spectre them as masterpieces.
