Históricamente, la moda ha favorecido ciertos tipos de cuerpo, mostrándolos como los cuerpos “normales” de la época y, de esa forma, ha excluido a muchos otros. Pero la verdad es que la diversidad corporal ha existido desde siempre y la idea del cuerpo perfecto según la moda es una construcción social que además ha ido evolucionando a través de los años. Pero lo que no ha cambiado es la idea de que este “cuerpo perfecto” debe ser delgado. Y eso además nos hace creer que nuestros cuerpos deben “acomodarse” a la ropa cuando, en realidad, lo que debería ser es que la ropa debería adaptarse a nuestros cuerpos. Así que en el episodio de esta semana hablamos sobre la relación entre la moda y el cuerpo. Referencias: Steele, Valerie. The Corset: A Cultural History. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2003.

Fashion history is about more than just pretty clothes... We have a special treat for you ---a peek into a new show that we love, and think you’ll love. We all know that Fashion history is about more than just pretty clothes. But did you know that Cardigan and Leotard were men before they were garments? Or that denim is actually named after the city of Nimes in France? Jeans after Genoa Italy? Have you ever wondered just who the real people were behind your favorite brands such as Louis Vuitton and Lanvin? With over 7 billion people in the world, we all have one thing in common. Everyday we all get DRESSED. We think you should join fashion historians April Calahan and Cassidy Zachary each week while they explore the who, what, when of why we wear. So, take it from us at Fashion Is Your Business----listen to DRESSED every week on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts! And now, enjoy a full episode of DRESSED!

Since the industrial revolution, fashion has been inextricably linked with technology. From the invention of the sewing machine to the zipper to high-performance fabrics, technology has continually changed the way we make and wear clothing. This episode, Christine chats with Ariele Elia and Emma McClendon, co-curators of Fashion and Technology, a new show at the Museum at FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) in Manhattan. Along with talking about the exhibit, they also discuss how new inventions—such as 3D printing and fabrics made from bacteria—may change what we wear in the future. To see images of the show, visit Christine’s blog, www.daughterfish.com.
