Abstract

This article deals with the relationship between the discourse of the transhumanist movement and the discourse of fashion. We understand that, despite the absence of any official affiliation between these two movements, there is a certain convergence, mainly in what brings them closer to science fiction in terms of mobilizing the imaginary and a futuristic view of the world, which is perhaps the main characteristic of both transhumanists and certain aspect of fashion.
