P2 process: Research

Heres an article I've come across.
From it I understand that clothing and the
choice of clothing determines
or manipulates
how people see/portray to/
each other. That
clothing can belong to
different time periods
and carry a message to the viewer too.


Clothing, Personality and Impressions.
Costume designers in the performing arts, television and film industries
manipulate clothing to evoke different historical periods, social
contexts
and idiosyncrasies. This shows that clothes can serve
other purposes than mere practical ones. Clothes have the ability
to express something else, something that belongs to the realm of
the symbolic. They can be articulated into a system that represents
information, a code that is used to create and communicate meaning
in social contexts. Clothing cues reveal, and even induce patterns of
social interactions among individuals.




Idiosyncrasies: a characteristic, habit, mannerism, or
the like, that is peculiar to an individual.
