Is Fashion Art?

Whether you answered yes or no to that question, you cannot deny that designers were channeling their inner finger painter this season. Bold prints, Dip-dyeing, and floral patterns are everywhere this spring, but another artsy trend emerging is the splatter paint/painterly chic look.
