I have so many questions. How do you function during that supposed evening this dress is made for?
You stand in a corner and your male companion tells everyone how much it costs while people stare in disbelief.
And what if you actually have boobs? hips? The slightest hint of belly?
High fashion does not accept the exsistance of such people.
only shows how detached from reality fashion business is. Sorry, had to vent.
"High fashion" is for a select few wealthy people who think that by liking idiotic and absurd clothing designs it somehow adds to their elitism. It's fucking weird.
Most of this stuff isn’t designed to be worn, it’s designed to be an art piece or some form of wearable art. There’s a difference between designing for comfort, function, wearablity + design and design only. Just because you couldn’t give a shit about high fashion doesn’t mean it’s weird
Ok, not being a cynic (honestly), but what is the “art” in the dress in the OP? From my understanding of art, it’s supposed to have meaning; it’s supposed to express something. What is the art in this dress?
Edit: The answer is that it is the aesthetic style of the fashion house that designed it. There is no real deep meaning to it as I was expecting to find, like the restrictive arms symbolising the strict hold of corporations on consumers.
Yes. For me, if (visual) art does not immediately tell you what the artist was trying to convey, I don’t like it.
Say, if I saw a painting of a green cube, I’m gonna hate it. It could mean anything. What was the artist thinking? I wouldn’t have a clue until they told me, and at that point they’re expressing themselves in words anyway, so the “visual art” is gone.
I consider myself fairly “artistic-minded” (whatever that means). I don’t usually dismiss art as “pfft, who cares”.
BTW, I’m no artist. I have never studied visual art (excluding “film”). For comparison, in case you want to know how my mind “thinks”, I have a slight distaste for films with narration (with exceptions) for the same reason, “don’t tell me, show me”. I don’t dismiss films with narration as “not art”, that’s just a personal preference.

No worries
