Are Fashion and Food Considered ART?
Just look at the Met Gala in New York every year and you’ll see the amazing creations of so many fashion designers.
The Gala is held once a year as a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
And it’s not just the Met ball. I look at Pinterest and see so many images of fashion shows that have jackets, shirts, dresses, even jewelry that stun me with their creative designs.
Some have used real flowers on their creations, some have color and color combinations in unusual ways.
I have watched all the Fashion contestant shows on Netflix and Amazon that give the designers a short time to come up with some unusual designs.
“Next in Fashion,” “Oh, Dior” and even “The September Issue” are some of my favorites.
And I always knew that the way some chefs plate their food is so artistic, but I was really stunned when I watched “The School of Chocolate” and the chef made a three-tiered hanging chandelier made solely of chocolate. I mean WOW!
When I ask myself, “What is art?”, I think I would consider anything that’s creative, stretches our boundaries, that’s unique and clever, no matter what the materials are, art.
Fashion and food can both be considered art due to their creative and aesthetic qualities.
Both fields involve a thoughtful combination of colors, textures, flavors, and presentation techniques to create visually appealing and expressive experiences.
Through fashion, individuals can express their identities, challenge conventions, and make powerful social statements.
Professional chefs create culinary masterpieces by skillfully combining ingredients, textures, and flavors.
Food presentation is carefully created to stimulate the eyes, with attention given to color palettes, arrangement, and use of decorative elements.
So for me, both fashion and food can be considered art due to their creative process, aesthetic value, and ability to inspire.
Sending you a world of love and creativity,
