Abstract

This work deals with young people who took part in punk, grunge and rave urban tribes during the 1980s, 1990s and contemporary. Based on the Michel Maffesoli and Gilles Lipovetsky sociology of the French, the clothing language of these groups is discussed in order to understand their procedures for identification by means of fashion. The inspiration for this study came from the movie “Wild at Heart” David Lynch (1990), where the character Sailor Ripley (Nicolas Cage) emphasizes his individuality and belief in personal freedom, using a leather jacket snake. In the film narrative, the protagonist's personal identity includes a number of peculiarities transmitted through symbols, whether behavioral or imagetic. It is inferred that the symbolism of clothing expresses lifestyles and world views, also identified in groups like punk, grunge and raver, whose origins and forms of expression influences the creation of fashion trends. Based on the film's narrative studies and the sociology of everyday life, we created a jacket that symbolizes the urban tribe raver.
