Introduction 介绍
Fashion is one of the aspects that people from different parts of the globe are increasingly relying upon to express not only their culture and backgrounds but also their inner feelings and thoughts. In line with, fashion is not only a critical component that different societies use to express themselves, but it is also a platform on which such societies rely on to define their identity as well as affirm their social class and beliefs among other things. This is affirmed by Macaraeg (2007) who observes that whereas on one hand fashion is concerned with the modern clothing and its accompanying accessing, on the other hand, it focuses on laying a foundation for the society to gain insights on different cultural and symbolic aspects that influences it. This implies that whereas one can perceptive fashion as an aspect that define one’s understanding of and connection to modernity, it is also something that uses different symbolic and cultural context to help people understand not only the ancient societies but also the emerging multicultural societies.
时尚是来自世界各地的人们越来越依赖的一个方面，不仅表达他们的文化和背景，而且表达他们的内心感受和思想。与此一致，时尚不仅是不同社会用来表达自己的一个重要组成部分，也是这些社会用来定义自己身份、确认自己的社会阶层和信仰等的一个平台。这一点被麦卡雷格（2007）所证实，他观察到，一方面，时尚与现代服装及其伴随的访问有关，另一方面，它关注为社会奠定基础，以了解影响它的不同文化和象征方面。这意味着，虽然人们可以将感性时尚作为定义自己对现代性的理解和联系的一个方面，但它也是一种利用不同的象征和文化背景帮助人们不仅了解古代社会，而且了解新兴的多元文化社会的东西。
One of the questions that researchers, scholars and fashion experts often encounter regards whether fashion is an aspect of art. In line with this, researchers, scholars and fashion expert have often questioned and engaged in debates on whether fashion is a form of art and as such, belong to art or not. This paper conducts a review of literature on the relationship between fashion and art. In particular, the paper will seek to establish whether fashion is an aspect of art. Notably, through the understanding of whether there exists a relationship between fashion and art will play a critical role in helping fashion designers understand different aspect of culture. Furthermore, gaining insight on this relationship will play a critical role in helping fashion designers understand how art influence the marketing of fashion in the modern world. Importantly, through the review of literature, this paper will be able to highlight an area of research that arises thereof.

Literature review 文献综述
There are numerous researchers and scholars who have devoted their research on exploring different aspects of fashion and how this relates to art. Among these researchers and scholars is Dr Sanda Miller, a Senior Lecturer in Media and Visual Arts at Southampton Solent University. In a journal article, Fashion as Art: is fashion art?, Miller (2007) explores the relationship between fashion and art, and whether fashion can be perceived as a form of art. In particular, Miller’s research seeks to address two main aspects regarding this relationship. First, Miller (2007) seeks to provide insights on whether fashion can be perceived as an art. Secondly, the research seeks to address the fashion in itself is an art.
有许多研究人员和学者致力于探索时尚的不同方面以及这与艺术的关系。南安普敦索伦特大学媒体和视觉艺术讲师桑达·米勒博士是这些研究人员和学者中的一员。米勒（2007）在一篇名为《时尚即艺术：时尚是艺术吗？》的期刊文章中探讨了时尚与艺术之间的关系，以及时尚是否可以被视为一种艺术形式。特别是，米勒的研究试图解决这一关系的两个主要方面。首先，米勒（2007）试图提供关于时尚是否可以被视为一门艺术的见解。其次，本研究试图说明时尚本身就是一门艺术。
