Much has been said about dress origins: it has served to distinguish roles within a group or a community and it has been used as a protection for exposure or nudity. However, we must not forget its importance in terms of spiritual protection. The suit was also a communication channel with other realities, other scopes and dimensions, able to transform and transport its user. It has been a refuge, shield and fetish, second skin, habitat. As in the sacred space of shamanic religions, or in the performing arts, clothing and mask play an important role in which the object is no longer a garment to become an element that harmonizes with the body and transmutes materiality in another entity that acquires the attributes represented by the suit. This article approaches the parallels between art and fashion and discusses some works of artists which from the genre of performance, embody change phenomenon with simultaneously poetic and magical relationships.
