Fashioning the Frame: Boundaries, Dress and the Body (Dress, Body, Culture)

Fashioning the Frame: Boundaries, Dress and the Body (Dress, Body, Culture)

by Dani Cavallaro (Author), Alexandra Warwick (Author)

Synopsis

This text presents a theory of what dress means in relation to the body. Identity relies on boundaries to individuate the self. Dress challenges boundaries: it frames the body and serves both to distinguish and connect self and "Other". It argues that clothing is both a boundary and not a boundary.
