Aesthetics of Coherence: Rethinking Dress from Eco-Feminisms and Ethics of Care

Fiona Capdevila Cugat from the University Autonoma of Barcelona suggests in this presentation that culturally embedded, appropriate and healthy clothing systems should be a priority, not a whim, for societies that aim to be caring. This raises a political question, opened for further research: Whether clothing systems should be reappropriated as commons, considered a constituent element of the individual, an extension of the ecological and ethical self through aesthetic experience of coherence, and for the pursuit of collective and environmental welfare.
