“…For example, both Craik (1994) and Wilson (1992) have argued that fashion can be used to critique the dominant social culture and allow participants to explore alternative forms of embodied subjectivity. "(W)hen fashion is understood in aesthetic terms (as a manner of ordering, categorizing and enchanting the lived milieu) then … it assumes a more radical potential" (Finkelstein, 1997, p. 161).…”

It is a common sense ideology that appearance is vertically representative, in that the outer surface reflects the inner self. This paper explores the impact of this ideology on women's understandings of their Body Art. Meaning and belonging were identified as central themes in accounts produced from two focus groups with young women in Glasgow, Scotland, who had piercings and tattoos. Meaning was constructed through two alternative accounts. First, that Body Art is meaningful because it represents a particular and valued subjectivity (brave, independent, different). Second, that the current popularity in Body Art endangers the vertical representation of the first account, making Body Art meaningless. To claim a meaningful relationship with Body Art our participants drew on discourses of subcultural knowledge, 'Othering', authenticity and rights. These discourses show that authenticity continues to be an important account in youth cultures. Authenticity both worked to produce a meaningful personal identity, but also a "mythical mainstream" that denied other young women discursive space from which to explore alternative subjectivities through Body Art.

“…Craik argues that fashion operates through the creation and manipulation of ''exoticism,'' which she defines as pertaining to ''the enticing, fetishized quality of a fashion or style, or to foreign or rare motifs in fashion.'' 25 The very premise of fashion, which uses fads and trends to distinguish some wearers from others and, according to Nirmal Puar, justifies an appropriation of the novel, often from spaces of Otherness. 26 These fashions then become revalued in ways that accrue cultural capital to white Westerners, forgetting the stigma attached to them when worn by marginalized women of color.…”

“…For example, a significant body of literature and research has been produced by historians, social and cultural theorists and psychologists exploring the role of clothing, fashion and style in the construction of identity [13,17,5,14,15,8]. Within the various discussions, the role of the garment, body modification and/or fashion are explored as they relate to individuals, garments, styles and traditions.…”

This paper will discuss through a discussion of fashion product, what it is to inhabit design. Drawing on a broad body of literature and the reflective practice of making this paper proposes that the lived relationship between user and object is an evolving participatory act that is both temporal and located. The intimate relationship between wearer and clothing will be the focus of the discussion, and it is hoped that colleagues from a broader range of design fields will connect to the ideas as they relate to your fields of expertise and design outcomes.
