Milan fashion week has always been known for dislaying the more artsy side of fashion as opposed to the shows in New York and Paris. The Spring 2009 collection is more wearable than past collections but still shows that fashion is a form of art. They display this by using many colors, patterns, and textures and mixing them up to create more of an abstract look to each piece. Also, the designers used a lot of see-through materials under other pieces which created a nude look to some collections. The high heels in Milan fashion week were extremely high and detailed.
Most of the collections that you see during Milan fashion week are not typically something you would consider to be "reday-to-wear" as those of Paris and New York. Of course, anytime you are dealing with high fashion then niothing is going to be as usuable as just walking out of a department store but that just proves that there is an art in the fashion industry, especially the higher up the ladder you are. However, at the Milan fashion shows there are only a select few things that you would feel comfortable just wearing out and about.
I do feel that art is a huge part of fashion and though you still must considered usubility when designing, you also want to include a unique side to things. It is important to include a variety of colors and geometric figures in a collection when you are designing. I do not really have a preference. I am kind of the middle of the road when it comes to art versus usability. I believ that they both are necessities when designing and variety is a must. I think the Milan Spring 2009 collections portrayed that very well for the most part.
