Fashion and Modernity in the Light of Modern and Contemporary Art
Norbert Hillaire —
The innate link between fashion and modernity has often been stressed. Indeed, modernity and fashion do seem to be intrinsically linked to the point of having been assimilated by one another, both terms digging into the other for the very meaning of their implementation in the reality of the last century, as an emblematic and recurring but at the same time unstable motif, as if resistant to all attempts at conceptualisation, except perhaps in the poetic prose of someone like Baudelaire.
