Eventos de moda: experiência e emoção através do uso dos sentidos.

Abstract

The fashion system is organized in contemporary society through the assumption of constant renewal due to its ephemeral nature. Into this organization several types of fashion events are inserted, that need to follow the changes imposed by the system, going against people’s expectations. This study limits itself to analyze the relations of emotion and experience established between individuals and adult female fashion exhibitions. The methodology of the study consists of literature review and exploratory field research, viewed through the development and analysis of two fashion exhibitions, titled as Experiments I and II. We had as this study’s premise that relations signed between the viewing public of exhibitions and fashion take place through different forms of interactivity, being the stimulation of vital senses an important experience enabler tool. The results show that the interactivity and originality are factors valued by individuals during fashion exhibitions, and the stimulation of the vital senses occurs, most evidently, in an indirect way. These findings motivated the development of a theoretical proposal and imagery that synthesize the analyzed behaviors between individuals and contexts of events that can be verified in the final considerations.
