Fashion and philosophical deconstruction : a fashion in deconstruction
Flavia Loscialpo claims that by the practising of deconstruction, designers have disinterred the mechanics of the dress structure and with them, the mechanisms of fascinations that haunt fashion.
They undo the structure of a specific garment, renouncing to finish it, but also re-thinking the function and the meaning of the garment itself.
They question the relationship between the body and the garment, as well as the concept of the body itself.
The creation of a piece implicitly raises questions about our assumptions regarding fashion. Following Derrida’s use of deconstruction, they show that there is no objective standpoint , outside history, from which ideas, old concepts, as well as their manifestations, can be dismantled, repeated or re-interpreted.
This constant dialogue with the past is what allows designers practising deconstruction to point to new landscapes.
