Abstract

Abstract Confronted with the fashion industry’s serious socio-environmental impact and acknowledging that fast fashion provokes unstable relationships with clothing, accelerating loss of value and early disposal, this article explores those cases in which garments are still valued and attachment is strong. We are interested in identifying the motives behind the bonds that are developed toward cherished pieces of clothing. For this, we have analyzed more than 600 short stories, written by men and women from all over Chile, that justify those garments that remain in their closets for many seasons and reasons. The results allow us to identify a set of attributes and their correlations, enriching the discussion about the relationship between people and dress.

“我心爱的衣服”：对时尚、依恋和耐久性的再思考

摘要面对时尚行业严重的社会环境影响，并承认快速时尚会引发与服装的不稳定关系，加速价值损失和早期处置，本文探讨了服装仍然受到重视和依恋强烈的情况。我们感兴趣的是确定这些纽带背后的动机，这些纽带是为珍贵的衣服而发展起来的。为此，我们分析了来自智利各地的600多篇短篇小说，这些短篇小说证明了那些因多种季节和原因而留在壁橱里的衣服是合理的。研究结果使我们能够识别一组属性及其相关性，丰富了关于人与着装关系的讨论。

期刊介绍： The importance of studying the body as a site for the deployment of discourses is well-established in a number of disciplines. By contrast, the study of fashion has, until recently, suffered from a lack of critical analysis. Increasingly, however, scholars have recognized the cultural significance of self-fashioning, including not only clothing but also such body alterations as tattooing and piercing. Fashion Theory takes as its starting point a definition of “fashion” as the cultural construction of the embodied identity. It provides an interdisciplinary forum for the rigorous analysis of cultural phenomena ranging from footbinding to fashion advertising.
