When looking at the art of the image, fashion is never really discussed. Fashion is a unique form of art which I constantly argue with my friends about. Most do not see it as a form of art but merely as overpriced clothing while I appreciate the art and intricacies of creating a garment from nothing. The creation of something beautiful from simple tools creates a spiritual experience in itself. It imbues the designer with god-like powers to create an intricate piece of art from nothing. It is divine and holy, in my opinion, to create as the Great Creator did. Then to see the moving image come down the runway can inspire a sense of awe in the viewers. Overall, fashion is a miniature revelation of the divine's creation. The designer playing the holy creates and mankind marvels in awe at his creations. The awe of the audience puts them in wonder of these creations and they are connected to the true holy through that feeling of reverence which draws them to the creator who imbued the designer with such vision and talent. Overall, fashion is rarely appreciated as the divine communion it has the potential to become when it is truly appreciated.
