An operation that also aimed to contribute to the redefinition of the female role within the fashion system. Even though Poiret has freed women from corsets and constrictions, it is thanks to Madame Grès, Madeleine Vionnet, Elsa Schiaparelli and Coco Chanel, that a renewed relationship between dress and woman's body has been questioned, opening the doors to the creations of Mary Quant, Krizia, Vivienne Westwood, Rei Kawakubo, Miuccia Prada, Consuelo Castiglioni and Phoebe Philo, to mention the most relevant. These figures all looked at woman's body through cuts and formal and material experimentations by using a personal vision of style and a precise creative process. Far from being limited to gender discourse, the article intends to investigate, the ev...

Luxury Studies: The In Pursuit of Luxury Journal

The new tech habits are reshaping customer behaviours and businesses. Contaminations, hybridizations and negotiations increasingly characterize today’s retail landscape. The future of retail is connected to how well brands adapt and take advantage of digital change. Within this framework, the fashion system can catch the opportunity to reflect and redesign the entire production and cultural system. Today, the shopping experience is realized thanks to multiform sensory and informational solicitations and the different distribution and communication channels, both physical and digital, defining new needs, strategies, technologies and even new aesthetic forms. In this renewed context, retail becomes increasingly relevant both in its physical and digital form and above all in the ‘phygital’ one, between virtual...

Fashion, Style & Popular Culture
Fashion, eroticism and pornography, especially in recent years, have created different synergies ... more Fashion, eroticism and pornography, especially in recent years, have created different synergies that not only embrace the design of fashion products and collections, but have defined and define precise visual, photographic and cinematographic languages as well as communication strategies that have not only borrowed the language and aesthetics of pornography, but also communication models, tools and channels. Today, we have thus witnessed an increasing hybridization of languages and channels that have generated forms of communication (performative, editorial, cinematographic or digital). It is not easy to identify the limits between fashion and pornography and between private and public spheres. Through literature review and several case studies, the article aims to investigate the evolution of the relationship between fashion, pornography and mass communication from an aesthetic, performative and, last but not least, technological point of view.

In light of the ever-increasing plurality and hybridization of languages, fashion change, through disassembling and reconstruction actions according to creative processes capable of generating new design approaches. The creative process, having passed the phase of revival, rediscovery and re-proposal of styles, today acts more and more according to an approach far from citationism. A method that deconstructs and reassembles products, materials and styles, in a mash-up, generating new signs, meanings and shapes, that recall, but do not refer didactically to precise references. Shapes, symbols, textures are thus deconstructed and recomposed according to logics and approaches that generate a multiplicity of meanings. Brands such as Vetements, Off-White, United Standard, Marcelo Burlon borrow from music not only cultural references but also a design approach. There is a form of deconstruction that looks more like a music mix using techniqu...

This phenomenon has redesigned contemporary geography composed of a proliferation of cultural, productive and education-related epicentres. Geographical areas in which fashion is created, produced, communicated, sold and, above all, valued as a cultural asset: we assist, thanks also to the rise of the digital world, to the globalisation of local realities that define new trajectories between multiple fashion capitals. New paths are also determined by the consolidated companies in the sector, which become nomadic, creating itinerant fashion weeks: presentations of collections that not only search for unusual and spectacular places but that recover and enhance workmanship, materials and places of different cultures and traditions. The text, starting from a geographical history (or historical geography) of fashion, intend...
