Fashion and fascism

This paper tries to find out if there was a coherent strategy in clothing in the imagery of their totalitarian leadership. There are other issues to consider that are related to the relationship between fashion and dictatorship between the two wars. Was fashion and the fashion industry part of this process? How did fashion contribute to the construction of consensus in Italy and Germany? Was fashion a part of the nationalization of the masses? The main hypothesis is that fashion, in theory and practice, was closely connected to the image and role of women in the new model of society that the two regimes envisaged. For the regime, the creation of an Italian fashion was a nationalistic priority in competition with France and other European nations.
