Art history and fashion are closely related – even though I don’t see fashion as an art in its own right. It cannot be an art, because art is made to last and embody a certain moment in history. Fashion does represent a certain moment but I don’t think it uses it to create a philosophy; the shock is emotional, whereas every painting or every installation makes us think. Fashion doesn’t, because it’s superficial. Then, history is very closely related to fashion as well: when things get bad, either people overdress and wear jewels, or minimalism returns.
