Abstract

Studying fashion’s history and gender problems raises the question of genderless, by highlighting the significance of fashion, as a modern phenomenon. Clothing is considered, in this sense, one of the most noticeable consumer goods and a significant factor in the social formation of identity [1]. Genderless fashion and gender issues are contemporary. It is present in articles, photography, art, music, movie stars, and fashion and has accompanied the progression of history; several authors have previously handled this subject.
Interdisciplinary research encompasses research and analysis of phenomena in various areas of scientific study. In this case, areas such as Fashion Design, Sociology, and aspects related to product attributes and mainly to consumer behaviour. Consequently, it is pertinent to give the research an interdisciplinary character concerning the design of genderless clothing and link the different aspects addressed in this work, which implicitly belong to it. This theoretical framework in fashion interdisciplinary is based on PhD thesis research entitled: Gender Issues in Genderless Fashion: Trend versus Paradigm (Translated title from: Questões de Género no Vestuário Sem Género: Tendências versus Paradigma.), which analyses genderless clothing in detail, addressing other associated concepts such as sex, sexual orientation, types of gender, unisex, androgynous, among others [2].
