- Abstract
- A sollicited essay in English that thinks through the type of doubt that currently circulates most in the high-fashion industry, what we term ‘little doubts’. We consider the fashion system’s investment in ‘little doubts’ in relation to the more game-changing variant of ‘radical doubt’ through the lens of the philosophy and history of science. By asking the question what or who is being served by the little doubts now oozing through the cracks of the luxury fashion system, we explore the ways in which the current concerns about the temporalization of high-fashion do not offer the game-changing narrative they claim to do. Rather we expect to find such ‘interruption of continuity’ to be initiated at the periphery of the fashion system.
