Moda sem gênero: o processo criativo de uma coleção cápsula experimental

Abstract

Gender issues are very present in our zeitgeist, and this is reflected in fashion, which has been moving to create collections free of gender definition. Despite this, a significant portion of these genderless collections presente themselves as a third branch of the product, opposed to the feminine and masculine ones, with a very defined aesthetic, which allows little, if any, alteration. In this way, this type of genderless fashion, contradictorily, ends up reinforcing the idea that clothes have a gender. Therefore, this work seeks to encourage discussions on the subject, investigating the alternatives that have been used in the construction of this genderless fashion, so that it is possible to locate its weaknesses and then, create a collection that is really disconnected from gender markings. The collection presented, capsule and exprimental, is composed of 14 looks and inspired by two fashion events of the 1980s, which are related to these questions: Power dressing and the montage of the Ballroom Culture.
