| Sumario: | This article examines the emergence of the debate on decoloniality in the field of fashion studies in Brazil. To this end, it promotes a theoretical discussion by placing texts about fashion in dialogue with others on decoloniality. Initially, a contextualization of post-colonial and decolonial studies is made based on articles by Luciana Ballestrin (2013, 2017). Next, the dissertation by fashion researcher Jamile Souza (2021) is put into dialogue with texts by researchers who produce decolonial studies in Brazil, Viviane Vergueiro (2018) and Geni Núñez (2018). After-wards, it analyzes the first Brazilian academic publication to question fashion concepts based on theories arising from studies of decoloniality, authored by Heloisa Santos (2020), placing it in dialogue with two articles from the Decoloniality and Fashion edition of the British academic journal Fashion Theory; one written by Sandra Niessen (2020) and the other by Angela Jansen (2020). The categories of race and gender were identified as axes of intersection between decolonial studies and fashion studies in Brazil. The theme of reviewing the concept of fashion itself proved to be important in some cited texts and is analyzed in this article, as well as its critical points. |
