Fashion vs. art.

Why do people think fashion is frivolous? Is it not as valid as any other form of art. People adore paintings, sculptures and photographs, in fact we love them so much, some people spend more money on one these types of art than some people make in a life time and we spend billions on buildings, which are often art in themselves, to store and showcase these masterpieces. So why do so many people think fashion is less than this, I happen to think that fashion is an even more valid form of art actually. It is not only beautiful but practical, a painting hangs on the wall waiting for the occasional glance form a passerby, but fashion in worn as close to the body as possible and is the first thing others look at when they see you. It is a mobile art piece. In addition, this type of art tells something about the owner. It shows who they are and helps express there personality. Fashion is very important in our world and more people should embrace it.
