Is fashion art or is it an extension of the photographer’s vision. That is a question that has been burning for a very long time, and please mind the pun.
 
I think every photographer would like to be called an artist in their own right, regardless what genre or style they shoot, I know what I try and convey in my pictures is to tell a story with in each picture I take for LaMode. And in doing so, in the series of images that I put together it projects a story to the reader, with the help of the clothes that the model is wearing of course or in this editorial for LaMode, the swimwear. 
 
So is fashion art, my answer to that question is no. Fashion now a days is so commercial that it is leaning towards a more commerce direction e.g selling clothes online is something of a billion-dollar industry now a days, but that is just a small part of it. 
 
You will notice that some of the amazing clothes that you get to see at the different Fashion Weeks around the world get so watered down that they can sometimes be unrecognisable by the time they reach the shops online or in store. That is because the designer is trying to make a statement, a little bit like me with LaMode in some ways. But not to get side-tracked, the photographers vision is something that is helped by the clothes that the model wears to create a story that is not only eye catching, but also cinematic and theoretical at the same time. So to rap this little blurb up, I ask you this question. Do you dress to make a statement or do you dress for yourself. Food for thought enjoy  ….."This is What Love look Like"
