A arte ao sabor da moda? Elementos de crítica da moda na perspetiva de Mikel Dufrenne

Fashion and art share spaces and circuits, exchange roles and representations. On the one hand, fashion enters museums and art galleries; on the other hand, artists influence fashion, participate in fashion shows and in publications dedicated to it. So much complicity can lead one to think that borders are dim, that fashion materializes itself merely as an art form and that art is currently shaped by fashion’s logic. If this sizzling relationship dissipates the sense of differences, then, we argue that it is aesthetics’ task to cool it, by submitting to a critical analysis the ambiguity generated by the socio-aesthetic-cultural system. In dialogue with Mikel Dufrenne, we will demonstrate that, according to an art concept associated with the phenomenon of its experience, fashion and art are differentiable and hardly convertible, though approachable realities.
