Fashion is undoubtedly art. There is no excuse for denying that

What's the argumentation for that and how does that compare with the reasons listed in the OP?

Seems to me you are either an edgy kid or someone that has never even tried to get into humanities. You pulled those arguments from your ass.
To your second point, search for something like anthropology or sociology of fashion.

Hell, those are not even arguments, they are just statements with no underlying basis. You could use some time in /lit/ and /his/

>a. Fashion is primarily a commerce industry and art is not.
Uh, as an art major faggot I can confirm that art is definitely a commerce industry, it main function throughout history has been for practical, religious and financial use.
Even the modern art industry is just used for either commerce (graphic designs, game art, interior design) or as luxury items that the rich use to barter with.
I think you're glorifying an idealized image of what art is while shitting on a part of it (fashion) for being like the rest of it, it's a weird thing to see.

OP here, those aren't my opinions. I took them from the other thread and I hoped the people from that thread would come here. 'Fashion can't exist outside of culture' is indeed just a statement and no reasoning was given in the previous thread. That's confusing.
I don't agree with 1a, I don't see how that's a discerning factor. You need to sell art, whether it's a cd, a book or a clothing item, to survive, although you can wonder into what kind of industry fashion has grown into.
