A Fashion Hermeneutic

Abstract

The thesis "A hermeneutics of fashion" aims to position fashion among the arts, discussing the importance of the clothing language in general and how it is shaped within the fashion ecosystem. Intending to determine its defining nuances, we will analyze the ways in which fashion has converged with other arts over time and we will make a summary of the instances of visual clothing language. At the same time, we will establish the interpretive possibilities when we refer to the field of fashion, drawing the hermeneutic process and the distinctive aesthetic elements that can be detached in this approach.
