This work proposes a discussion about the symbolic relations of fashion and
the modes acquired by it in postmodernity, understanding the sociocultural
developments that incline fashion towards a posthumous conformation. For this, an
analysis of the symbolic antecedents of clothing takes place, tracing the act of
dressing to reach the end, to the possible echoes of postmodernity, such as, for
exemple, the society of the spectacle, resulting in a questioning about the
insufficiency of the phenomenon, which suggest a possible death, followed by a
possible later existence, a fashion that is born posthumously. The final objective of
this work is the development of a non-collection, inspired by Martin Margiela's
enigmatic modus operandi and by the spectral notions of the postmodern moment.
