Hello Beautiful People:
The day has finally arrived! Our book, Digital Fashion: Theory, Practice, Implications, is published and available for purchase.
My chapter, “Existence, Aesthetics, and Meaning: A Philosophical Reflection,” ponders the nature of digital fashion. What really is it? More to the point, I ask what digital fashion’s purpose could be if it exists only in a virtual context. It cannot protect you from the cold, rain, wind, or sun. In the physical world, for example, we might grab an ugly coat because it performs a function, like keeping us warm. In a virtual world, that functionality is not necessary. I conclude that the main purpose of digital fashion is to showcase our aesthetics and to create meaning.
Feel free to contact me to learn more about this book or digital fashion in general. I am still booking talks and workshops for this fall (and even next Spring), contact me soon if interested before my schedule fills up.
