Fashion and the City

Abstract

Fashion and city are built together starting from the signs and languages that draw on the multiple universes of social discourses and of contemporary communication forms: musical and visual cultures, consumer habits, artistic practices, youth trends, styles of subordinate metropolitan groups and intercultural hybridizations. “The city is the realization of the ancient human dream of the labyrinth”, wrote Walter Benjamin. There is a close connection — poetic, semiotic and textual — between fashion and city. At the core of this lies a nucleus that may be termed “the street”. The street is where taste experiments with the time’s atmosphere, the crossover zone between cultures and tensions, and the physical and metaphorical space in which the city makes sense by virtue of shared social practices.
