Definition of "high fashion"

[breakinglight11]

A working definition of high fashion I have thought of, noted here for my own reference:

High fashion is maintaining a balance between the heightened nature of the art of design and a certain aspirational wearability.

I find this a useful idea and don't want to forget it.

I like 'aspirational wearability' :P

Heehee, yeah-- I mean, you'd want to wear it, even if you couldn't necessarily actually wear it.
