The essay "Antagonistic Fashion. The Last Generations after the Japanese Post-atomic Wave" deals with the latest radical trends and current inclinations labelled as anti-pop, anti-form, anti-glam, in a word, anti-fashion. The prefix “anti” is to be intended as a banner of contrast and opposition in respect to mainstream fashion canons. Drawing from a methodological frame rooted in the phenomenology of styles, from which she borrows a historical-critical structure usually applied to the arts, the author marks the trends of some designers’ latest generations (such as Carol Christian Poell, Maurizio Altieri, Issei Fujita, Boris Bidjan Saberi, Damir Doma) who are on the same wavelength as that of the research started by Yohji Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo and Issey Miyake.

Abstract
The essay "Antagonistic Fashion. The Last Generations after the Japanese Post-atomic Wave" deals with the latest radical trends and current inclinations labelled as anti-pop, anti-form, anti-glam, in a word, anti-fashion. The prefix “anti” is to be intended as a banner of contrast and opposition in respect to mainstream fashion canons. Drawing from a methodological frame rooted in the phenomenology of styles, from which she borrows a historical-critical structure usually applied to the arts, the author marks the trends of some designers’ latest generations (such as Carol Christian Poell, Maurizio Altieri, Issei Fujita, Boris Bidjan Saberi, Damir Doma) who are on the same wavelength as that of the research started by Yohji Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo and Issey Miyake.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
