“Fashion rests upon folly. Art rests upon law. Fashion is ephemeral. Art is eternal. Indeed what is a fashion really? A fashion is merely a form of ugliness so absolutely unbearable that we have to alter it every six months! It is quite clear that were it beautiful and rational we would not alter anything that combined those two rare qualities. And wherever dress has been so, it has remained unchanged in law and principle for many hundred years.” YearsHas BeensArtTwoBeautifulFormLawQualityPrinciplesClearFashionMonthsSixEternalArt IsHundredDressesRationalFollySix MonthsUglinessUnbearableIn-lawsEphemeral Author:Oscar Wilde

“The only way to make a criticism of something is to really participate in it. I'm a completely capitalist person. I participate in commodity culture and the fashion world. High art is a money-making vehicle. We're not making art in a vacuum. We're not shopping in the woods. These are all things that we do within the larger system of capitalism. For me to critique it, I'm also participating in it. That's obvious, I feel. In my work, I participate in the things that I critique. I satirize the things that I love and know well and find problematic.” WorldArtCultureFashionArt IsCapitalismCriticismObviousCapitalistVehicleCommodityCritique Author:Chloe Wise
