The dress in the identity and belongin of young university students

Abstract

Is clothing decisive in the belonging of young students of the Universidad Iberoamericana Puebla (UIA) to certain social groups? Historically, it is possible to recognize periods dominated by certain fashions as evidenced by the French magazine La mode illustrée (1869) or as Lipovetzky points out in his work “The Empire of the Ephemeral” (2009). Fashions in 1800 became patterns of social coexistence guided by good dress, differentiating classes and social groups according to the clothes they wore, specifically in France. Arnold (2001) suggests that as the twentieth century advanced, the groups that were segregated or rejected sought ways to achieve visibility and identity by creating their own fashions, partly as a subcultural provocation and partly as an exhibition of extreme fashion, opening a field of negotiation and dramatization of clothing and the identification of certain individuals who form groups with similar material objects (fashion).
