Art is designed to make you feel something. Much of today’s “avant garde” fashion is just consumerism wrapped in foolishness, designed to spark conversation and scarcity- not to promote the conversation and introspection from observing it.

The only reason you were given backlash is because that particular individual doesn't understand criticism and most likely has thin skin. They need to get over themselves.

I could see this working on a top hat with some kind of lace instead of plain gauze. a little bit of fire, a few playing cards in the band instead of a feather. Maybe a really big button fastening the hatband.

I think if it’s meant to be art, maybe it’s not meant to be worn if it looks fragile. Maybe some art is meant to be displayed instead of sold to be worn by anyone. I think they’re playing and seeing how much cheaper stuff they can produce and still make money off of people who see art in everything. It’s like asking comedians if everything can be joked about. There are the ones who say no and the ones who say “either we can joke about everything or nothing at all”. Maybe this is where some branches of fashion are growing to. I think making one pair of gauze poo shoes is enough and people can visit and take photos. Less waste of resources.

I just can’t - burning gauze does not speak to creativity. And I come from a creative field

If it needs a whole background story to be aesthetically acceptable, it's a poor idea.

if its art, sell it as art. not as wearable shoes.

As a piece of art, the representation is good. As a pair of shoes, never. I’m not wearing that.

I literally thought that was poop covered gauze until I realized it was shoes. Shoes that look like they were wrapped in poop covered gauze.

my criticism of art like this is "why does it always have to be so convoluted?" I get wanting to portray a concept, I get that it can be a hard process... but seriously who do you as the artist, and especially the viewer, make the leap from burnt gauze to "a complex depiction of overcoming challenges and beauty in resilience"? Without an explanation, I can't imagine your average non-aficionado viewer would ever get there.

something being art makes it open to criticism almost by definition

I like that art can have a deeper meaning. But the meaning has to be apparent to the audience without being told. I did not see “resilience” in these shoes. I don’t feel resilient with burned shoes.

Nasty. And I think the fashion industry is pranking us all to see what they can get away with
