fashion: art? or plain vanity?


an old friend whom i haven't spoken to in maybe 8 years recently caught up with me in facebook. we used to write all the time when we were kids until life got the hold of us and we were soon too busy to talk. in the past 8 years, that friend has travelled the world and is currently taking up a masters degree at a prestigious university. we're the same age and knowing of my friend's current activities, it got me wondering if my interests are shallow compared to my friend's. while my friend is busy studying and advancing his knowledge, here i am obsessed with shoes and waking up thinking about what to wear. 

everyone have different interests and passions. some are passionate about music. some are passionate about computers. others are even bizarrely passionate about maps. i am passionate about fashion; about personal style and i have constantly said that fashion is my form of art and how i express myself. but where does art end and vanity begins with fashion? or does it always have to go together?
