Places and territories in the expression of fashion

Abstract

Designers, visionaries by definition, have always embodied the aesthetic ideal in women. The work of the fashion creator is proposed as the construction of an expressive dialectic between the liberation of the female essence, which unfolds in all its nuances, sublimated in the place of the show as a manifestation of minorities or status, synthesizing identity in the dress code of a movement or that of the ideas of which one is the bearer. Fashion is a shared aesthetic canon that becomes a clothing rule, but those who make fashion intend to create and recreate that style rule by capturing and determining trends that are clearly visible in the social and cultural sphere, and manifest themselves in the places of existence of the subjects who live a certain territory.

    The aesthetic expressive space defines a place capable of overcoming routine orthodoxy, as a proposal and interpretation of ideas and values ​​through which to shape identity. The aesthetic profile becomes the representative component of the context as a place, visual and physical, of recognition and belonging. This profile is transformed into the redesign of models, colors and materials, which become a synthesis of “new diversities”, which, like the biological ones, are capable of expressing the changing richness of an evolving world.

    The composite reality given by the social component, by the sustainable one, by the female role and by the affirmation of gender equality, can be found in the initiatives of international organizations that express the transversality and unifying force in the space of the essence of fashion in every shaping expression, be yourself-find itself, empower over border, ride through borders, because fashion and fashions express the “shape” of things by shaping the object qualified as fashion, indicated by the expression as the manifestation of a way of being in a space, in a territory, but also a bridge for overcoming borders.

    Through the hints of the history of clothing, the denotative elements are outlined in the objects worn: status, mourning (burial), religious belief (whirling dervishes), gender, etc., which pass from a passive expressive role to a social perspective role. The territories in which this takes shape will be the subject of the paper and their systematic presentation, through the analytical criterion of cataloging the semantics of fashion, will outline the factors of the reinforcing expressiveness of the movements from which they assume configurative profiles of new spaces and territories of reality. .
