I see a lot of common ground in all artistic endeavors- music, art, design, fashion. And one of the things I've realized is that most people who make it look easy actually work very hard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-style-a-true-art#post-240733 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 23:30:15 +0000 Lisa 240733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think style is an art. As with any art form there is a history to it, you can be taught how to improve/learn about it, and it's up to personal interpretation how you feel about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-style-a-true-art#post-240715 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 23:01:39 +0000 chewyspaghetti 240715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me, fashion (creating a garment) and styling (putting an outfit together) are different arts- but definitely both art forms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-style-a-true-art#post-240714 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 22:56:42 +0000 Beth 240714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it can be. It's a combination of psychology, philosophy and art. If who I am is first what you see, then that expression of self has many layers, including art. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-style-a-true-art#post-240709 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 22:47:30 +0000 Angie 240709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess it's a question of being able to see the art in fashion. </p> <p>Style is an art form because you are "creating" for the blank canvas of your body. You *are* a walking work of art. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-style-a-true-art#post-240706 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 22:41:44 +0000 Barbara 240706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great question. I adore ALL fashion, even the most outrageous designs. That doesn't mean I'll wear it, although I do admire it's pure artistic form. I am a design student, so I KNOW that I see fashion and style through a different lens. Quite analytical.</p> <p>Aida, your reply says it all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-style-a-true-art#post-240660 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 20:49:28 +0000 Aida 240660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think of fashion as art and style as craft, the personal interpretation of fashion as art. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-style-a-true-art#post-240646 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 20:11:03 +0000 RoseandJoan 240646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is often mentioned on the forum (and by myself) that creating your style is an art and one of YLF's style persona's is Artistic Eclectic but would you class fashion and style as a true art?</p> <p>It's beautiful enough to be exhibited in museums, couture reaches fantabulous prices and it certainly reflects the life of an era but is it art?</p> <p>Over to you, you wonderful, stylish philosophers. </p>
