  • Fashion: protect is aesthetics

    This article aims to reflect on some points that are believed to be necessary. If fashion expressed itself in socio-political-economic movements following historical events, this era of new technologies brings with it the feeling of a more effective need for its expression, in the sense of protecting citizens in their greatest vulnerabilities, which implies being in strong connection with the universes of information and recognition. It is in this context that several interactions will be discussed: from the skin to the type of fabrics; from the molecules that are released from the epidermis in contact with sensitive fabrics; from technological readings within freedoms; and speed of information with minimizing costs in solving problems: both for some institutions and for democratic states. My reflection is on the recognition/communication involving sensitive fabrics and, on how the most vulnerable people can defend themselves from aggression, assaults, and random attacks.
