Semiotics of Fashion

Abstract

This contribution aims at systematising the various works in the field of Ital­ian fashion semiotics, proceeding by topicalisation, from the general to the particular, starting from the moment in which it is defined as a language by Umberto Eco, pass­ing through its eminently sensible repercussion on the body with Paolo Fabbri, and arriv­ing at styles, trends, connections with other disciplines, objects and places, thanks to some of the prominent exponents of the Italian scientific community. During the review of these various perspectives, some parallelisms will be made with the contemporary world to trace their influence on the analysis of the most recent phenomena in the fash­ion system.
