Bugg J. ‘Fashion & Performance; Materiality, Meaning, Media’, Lidewjij Edelkoort and Philip Fimmano (eds.), Fetishism in Fashion, Arnhem Mode Biennale book, Frame publishers, Amsterdam, 2013, pp. 220-22 Fashion and Performance The worlds of fashion and performance have tended to be analysed and understood in the context of their own disciplines as separate and distinctly different in terms of their design process and intention. However as performance and fashion practice both increasingly move into new and site-specific contexts and as focus is extended around conceptual and experimental approaches, the divisions between clothing designed as conceptual fashion and clothing designed as costume for performance have arguably become less clear.
