 Dress we wear is a non verbal communicator and compliments our language and as a tool that represents our culture, sexuality, nationality, class and other identities.<\/p>\n

\u201c Dress provides a rich visual indicator to all audience , both familiar and unfamiliar . This can be judged by simple observation in our day to day life as Particular piece of clothing worn by person is associated with formal role like Doctor, Nurse, Fire person, policeman, defence personal, attending a party or getting married\u201d said Dr Ian W King Professor of Aesthetics & Management, University of the arts London & college of fashion and author of author of famous book \u2018The Aesthetics of dress\u2019 while speaking at function organised by ARCH Academy of design late last evening .<\/p>\n

\u201c Our dress as non verbal communicator is presented to unfamiliar audiences in our day to day life. If we travel in Metro train or sit on a bench in a park , our presence is not based on appearance but reinforced through dress and amplified through non verbal language. We cannot verbally introduce ourselves to audience but we consider their attention as familiarity in guise. The potential of clothing has power to overcome language barrier\u201d said Dr Ian W King who is author of famous book \u2018The Aesthetics of dress\u2019 and has closely worked with many international acts ranging from: the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Granada TV to Tina Turner, Elton John and Michael Jackson.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\u201cIn today\u2019s world what is worn on our body is not neutral activity and not many of us in today\u2019s society can claim that our choice of clothing is restricted to decision to protect us from warm or cold weather or to clothe our nakedness. The reality is contemporary world is dominated by media, design, label an brands . That is aesthetics. \u201c said Dr King .<\/div>\n
\n
\u201cWe \u2018dress\u2019 our bodies to communicate \u2013 to express our confidence (or not), identity, status, aspirations, affiliations etc. We dress according to the situation\/audience etc. It might be to attract attention, to protect or to hide the body. It might be to accentuate height, or religious belief, or simply to shock or conform. Essentially, it is not simply clothing that we wear that achieves this \u2013 for example, hair, makeup, jewellery, handbags, shoes, piercings, tattoos \u2013 cumulatively these constitute how we \u2018dress\u2019 our bodies. Thus, the appearance (as well as the feel) of the body is significant if we are to appreciate an enacted approach to aesthetics.\u201d He said.<\/p>\n

\u201c The fashion is most creative industry in the world with more than 50 million people involved world wide having turnover in access of Three trillion dollars and ever growing \u201c he added.<\/p>\n
