Yesteday I was at a trade seminar for transboundary or boundarybreaking fashion with my designassistant. Textile lingering on the border between art and commersial fashion. It was small, intimite and a very typical art-people kind of thing. only a 100 people was invited to join.

But the seminar was interesting. Though we missed Ida Sjöstedt, a swedish designer who was suppossed to speak. Got tons of ideas and felt the subject was relevant. Sat down for a wonderful lunch at the Architectual Museum Café och some brainstorming afterwards.

Where does the line go? why is art art and why is fashion seen as "commersial" and art not? The painting are for sale too! There is as much thought an intention behind designers clothes as there is behind art. Humor, desire, rebellion, play with form and colour...

The boundary is mostly set up by artworld institutions. "real" artists can get benefactions from the programs, a designer can not. As if haute couture and boundarybreaking designers didn't struggle for survivaL They say that fashion is too commersial, but won't give money to textilartists who want to change it. hypocrisy. The subject was played back and forth between journalists, fashiondesigners, artists and textile artists. An insteresting mix.
