Whenever something has a pattern, or good craftmanship and details, I think of art. Art does not have to be something that is hanging on the wall or in a museum, it can be wearable too. Fashion obviously has a lot of thought and planning put into it, and that creativity and effort should be viewed as an art form.
I watched the Milan fashion shows, and there were a few basic trends throughout them. There seemed to be a focus on technology and transparency, as well as many outfits being top-heavy: or having a soft bottom and a stiffer top. Marni took a nice spin of some of the "classics", such as the pencil skirt, the twin set, and the suit. This shows the fashion world as both usable and artsy.

Another artist that caught my attention was Fendi. The designer had a cool idea of taking the transparency theme and bringing it to another level. There were some dresses that were see-through, but had a sheath or something under it in order to make it wearable. This can be seen in the picture attached, as provided by style.com.
