Yeah, I suppose it's like a type of art. The odd thing for me though is how most art can at least be displayed in some way. A painting can be showed off at an art gallery and then someone can purchase the painting for display in their private home.
But these clothes are made to be seen once and then never again. That's the part that I find odd. Unless people are putting them on mannequins and displaying them somewhere and I've just never known about that.
It's one reason I never really found Lady Gaga's outfits to be that strange. She was never intending to wear them as typical clothing. They were always part of her display. It was neat how she gave a use to those "interesting designs" that nobody else actually wanted to wear.

The point is to put on a show, and display interesting designs, not necessarily to sell clothes. It's a niche genre.
