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.
