Digital fashion ideology
Digital fashion communities are often portrayed as radical challengers to mainstream fashion, embodying digital utopianism that views technology as a liberating force. These communities are believed to reject industry hierarchies and adopt a countercultural stance. This study examines whether they truly embody such revolutionary ideals by analysing evidence gathered through an AI social listening platform. Despite the ambitious rhetoric, the find…
The white-clad people
The paper diachronically examines the white hanbok as the material and symbolic site of interaction between the hegemonising and the hegemonised in Korea. It traces the changing status of the white hanbok from the end of the 19th century to the present-from being part of unconscious material culture, to the synecdoche of the colonised nation, to the symbol of resistance, to the membrane of a 'homogeneous nation', to the symbol of democracy. It an…
Distinction by Indistinction
Setting out from the Simmelian premise that fashion is the site of tension between conformity and distinction, this essay enquires into the element of distinction heightened in minimalist luxury fashion. Minimalist luxury reveals the inherently divisive nature of fashion, putting distance between “us”—the nonchalant, productive, and moral—and “them”—the vulgar, useless, and amoral. Its seeming austerity is an effective mechanism of status asserti…
Eyes in The Skin I Live In
Increasing biotechnological interventions to the human body challenge long-established Western binaries, opening up a political struggle over the boundaries they cut through. While this incorporated technology enhances and extends human lives, it can also facilitate (self-)surveillance, especially when it involves information technology capable of generating, analyzing and sharing data. At this confluence of human and nonhuman, the article explor…
The Textilesphere
A sense of displacement pervades contemporary life, with the global crisis of forced migration, increasingly modular and distributed families, and remote social interactions replacing familiar ways of being in a space with others. This sentiment, together with the widening application of highly advanced textiles in many areas of the built environment, calls for an appraisal of textiles in relation to notions of home and belonging. Drawing on a ra…
Seaming Hands
The perpetual crisis of subjectivity experienced today means that the modern self is always partial and relative to what is “other.” This corresponds to the more individualized and coded values relevant to what is currently regarded as “original” or “authentic,” notions that are inseparable from luxury in fashion. This article analyzes the handmade in contemporary fashion as the product of liminality and our reflexive response to it—a necessary p…
