Summary

This quote highlights an intriguing contrast between fashion and art. It suggests that fashion typically begins with concepts that are aesthetically pleasing and appealing to the eye. However, over time, as trends change and evolve, what was once fashionable may lose its charm and lose its beauty. On the other hand, art often emerges from unconventional or unattractive ideas, pushing boundaries and challenging traditional aesthetics. As time goes by, these artistic creations may gain recognition, appreciation, and ultimately be regarded as beautiful and significant.
