Art Farty Fashion

OOOOO, LA LA

Last week, the art world's elite gathered in Zurich to attend Art Basel. The legendary contemporary art fair, which has been called "The Olympics of the Art World" by The New York Times, was packed with big ticket paintings, sculptures, drawings, installations, photographs, and video works.

It also swarmed with dressed-up art enthusiasts, heiresses, and influential jet-setters. Since this is a fashion blog, I'm going to focus on the fabulous get-ups rather than the amazing art that I've heard about. Here are a few of the more outstanding art-inspired outfits from the parties that dotted the nearly week-long art extravaganza:
