In this crazy and hectic world we live in, fashion can be seen as an extravagant industry. With so many extremely talented and creative people, most can’t imagine seeing these pieces in public. Many of the garments are too abstract for the public to understand, but they miss out on the aesthetic aspect of their collection by focusing on the abstract. However other designers, such as Michael Kors and Rachel Zoe, like to focus on the simple design elements that could work for everyday men and women.
