Fashion is defined as a manner of wearing clothes, the hair, personal ornaments, etc. at a peculiar period and place,but it also “encompasses other cultural expressions such as furniture, interior design, [and] the food we eat” (Welters& Lillethun, 2018, p. 13). According to Joslin and Wardrop (2015), “[f]ashion is political” since it intersects with class,gender, race, and economics and becomes a material entity that reveals “the palpable, tactile edge to matters of state,by its very tangibility rendering those matters undeniable” (p. ix). As such, fashion functions as an agent to enunciatethe experiences of diverse cultures and material bodies, which are put under the scrutinising gazes of other people,evaluating the body according to the dominant social norms (Jenss & Hofmann, 2019).
