Fashion Through Time

This paper examines, with the use of in depth interviews, how consumers view fashion in relation to time. Our main findings reveal that consumers reconstruct time in general and their lives’ timeline in particular, through the reading of fashion. Moreover, they view fashion as an historical record. The study demonstrates consumers’ perception of the relationship between time, change and fashion, through their everyday understanding of time, temporality and change, and explores the implications for fashion designers.
