- Title
Fashion as an Intersection between Aesthetics and Embodiment.
- Authors
Bogun, Maximilian; Latiolais, Christopher
- Abstract
Contemporary aesthetics offers us a lens to perceive the world as an ever-unfolding set of appearances. This aesthetic perception should be examined with respect to the body, and the body's presence within and as a part the world. A unique field opens up at the examination of aesthetics from the perspective of the body, being that of fashion. Fashion, specifically Haute Couture, can be viewed as an intersection between an object of aesthetics and an extension of the body. Fashion operates within this space as a means of performing one's identity through an orientation of the body as an object of aesthetic perception. My analysis draws from Martin Seele's aesthetics of appearing, Merleau-Ponty's embodiment, Erving Goffman's self presentation, and Lars Svendsen's account of fashion.
