A painting according to the dictionary is a set of colors arranged on a surface in a certain order with a representative, expressive or decorative purpose. This set provokes emotions and feelings on its creators that connect us with their deepest feelings.

Fashion has often been questioned for whether or not it is considered an artistic movement, and although we sometimes appreciate it by trends, fashion is a complement and an influence of painting, since all its creators get inspired from numerous artists to create their collections in which they combine everything that these artists have given them.
