However, as will be argued, as a space that has increasingly become dedicated to fashion-as a cultural, social and not least economic phenomenon-the museum does not embrace its full potential in displaying and problematizing fashion’s close and real relation to actual life, and especially, the very lives that produce it. The museum as we know it is a space dedicated to displaying objects of art-and to some degree, of everyday life objects-and as such it constitutes a space for the linkage between the aesthetic and the profane, between art and life. This article departs from the century-long understanding that fashion connects ‘life and art’, an understanding once advocated by Hans Siemsen in his avantgarde journal Zeit- Echo, to discuss how the museum constitutes an important space, or arena, where this connection is taking place.
