Fashion describes, articulates, and makes metaphors of the human body. Inexorably, fashion is a window through which we perceive the body as constructed from a reconciliation between the impulse to modesty and the desire to express oneself through one’s physical presence. Specifically, fashion opens windows to the body that frame and define the whole and its parts. Bare Witness strives to see fashion’s practice of covering and uncovering, concealing and revealing, which is a dynamic of dress and a delight for spectatorship.
