Abstract
This study aims to think about fashion overcoming the idea of ephemerality. In order to problematize the system that builds it was necessary to destabilize inherent concepts, such as origin, new, linearity, temporality, as well as its historical construction. The research sought to perceive the escape lines present within the system itself and brought them closer to the rhizome concept, using as example exhibitions from the Victoria & Albert Museum and Les Arts Decoratifs. Thinking of fashion as an image and later as rhizome broadened the look for the political possibilities that happen in the agencies that fashion promotes, and with this exercise, we challenge the unsustainability of fashion as a promoter of change, specially when signed in its material aspects.
