The classical symptom: two years early the guys playing art and fashion looked upon each other. The former one would call the latter one as No Culture, Low Culture and Upstart, when the latter one would call the former one as Poor and Fake Pure. However, at present the artists will wear GUCCI, Dunhill and Louis Vuitton. And the fashion guys are collecting artworks or design products. The SOBER launches a new record after ten years, and the remarkable thing is the cover of the record—a clean tool with Louis Vuitton stamp leather. At that time, these art guys held on to be far from the fashion world to let others consider them as dirty and outdated. However, this situation changes nowadays. The Artists not only mention the fashion but also take it in life. Affected by the west culture, the artists bring more and more modern things, like ancient steel toy, limited jean, English record and the customization cars. The artists now change from the guys that looked down upon the fashion into the guys lead the fashion, it’s just like anyone must turn to be like Andy Warhol. It’s funny that when artists change themselves the fashion operators are trying their way to connect with art. Someone calls Hussern Chalayan as a artist. Although what he design may never appear in your body, but the fashion aesthetics mind that he bring is obvious. It’s possible that the independent fashion and art can communicate and affect each other. In his fashion show, camera, equipment and photograph are everywhere. The way that he uses to show the society views and philosophy ideas by design work is just like the expression way of the artist. If Hussein Chalayan is said to the guy make art fashion, then John Galliano must be the guy who turns the fashion to be extreme art. The stage plot in his T platform shows the camera art in both the make-up of the geisha and the middle-sex clothes of Marlene Dietrich. In his mind the art for fashion is not just a name but also another one of the fashion.
