The Psychology of Dominant Fashion
Based on my last post, I’ve been doing a little aggressive Googling on the subject of dominance, submission and fashion, and I’ve come across a couple of interesting things:
An essay which suggests that there might be more power behind the apparently submissive poses of many fashion models.
Style Bubble quests for “bitch dresses” (to go with “bitch boots”, natch), and finds something golden. I find the description of the look intruiging:
Again, like I said before, it isn’t about about a horrid kind of bitchiness but it’s about portraying a harsh nochalence in the expression, whilst protecting a certain vunerablility.
And that’s a much more interesting view of dominance to me than the “heartless bitch” stereotype.
