It is awesome when a designer feels that they are free enough to truly express themselves through design and be backed by their supporters.
Milan's Fashion Week definitely hosts many designers that seem to share this freedom of expression. However I feel that Versace does a great job of incorporating the art side of fashion into wonderful and wearable clothing... The structure of her designs help to define shapes but those shapes are not as evident as the ones that she creates by zippers.
This is truly innovative as well as clever. It is something that seemed until this point to be overlooked (the use of a zipper as something as other than a zipper.) She uses them almost as one would use ribbons. They are used to enhance the garment.

They were "used as trim, shoulder straps, braid and decoration on taut cotton cocktails, curvy hipped party frocks,...One totally cool dress even had the zipper twisted into a heart shape, the better to highlight the love of closure."
Seeing this line in my opinion is comparable to going to an art show or gallery. Its like you can tell the same designer designed each piece, however each presentation has its own unique flair.
So i guess in that case you can ask yourself the question of this type of fashion... "is it an art or can it be used". Versace in my mind specifically does a great job in merging the two. Especially if Milan is known for the ART of fashion. Reason being is because I am not that familiar with the Milan fashion weeks, however opon seeing this years, it seemed to be compatible with the weeks in Paris and New York.

Either way, I love it... fashion is definitely useful art =)
