Fashion as Communication
Malcolm Barnard
2002
power of fashion, communications, fashion, tendence, lifestyle, book, cultural
In his apercu, Fashion as Communication, Malcolm Barnard seemingly subscribes to the Latin proverb, ìFashion is more powerful than any tyrant.î With this tacit mantra, Barnard addresses the rhetorical functions of fashion to determine the locus and latitude of the role of fashion in constructing and maintaining cultural roles, rules, rituals, and responsibilities. From palaces to punk, luxury boxes to laundromats, Barnard presents the reader with an extensive pallet of the premises of fashion as persuasive art and architecture.

self_passage is a brand and research project that explores how fashion can be used for empowerment, self-development and personal growth instead of being a phenomenon of top-down decrees and collective anxiety. The selfpassage projects try to bend the power of fashion into a force to achieve a positive personal and social condition with which the Everyperson is free to grow to his/her full potential by means of engaged fashion practices.
