The connection between fashion and art developed in the twentieth century like never before, which led to the near blurring of the boundaries between fashion and art. Many theorists have contributed to discussions on this topic, but fashion has not yet been granted the status of art. Despite the fact that the question of fashion as an art form has caused a lot of criticism and conflicting opinions, fashion and art still connect and influence each other. Fashion is used as a means of conveying various contents. It takes the body as its medium, which also serves as a medium for artistic performance and body art. The body and live bodily action are two key common points of performance, body art and fashion performativity, which began as early as the 19th century with Worth.
The aim of the diploma thesis is to present the role of fashion in the world of art and to research how fashion can be used as a means of art. Calling fashion a form of art is not correct due to conflicting views and many criticisms, so it is much more essential to look for their connections. In the diploma thesis, we looked for the relationship between fashion and art using examples of the works of fashion designers such as John Galliano, Hussein Chalayan, Alexander McQueen and Iris van Herpen. In their work, we focused mainly on the connections between fashion, performance and body art.
