Intellectualizing Fashion Through French Phenomenology

33, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Lucy Collins is a philosophy PhD candidate at Temple University. Initially interested in the philosophy of art, Lucy’s own fascination with her sewing machine led her to think of fashion as a possible realm for philosophical inquiry.

Why fashion? What philosopher cares about fashion? Certainly ones who recognize that a mind is always embodied and a body is always clothed. Stick around for more on why selfhood, temporality, and authenticity all play an important role in why we choose what we wear…

A 2001 graduate of Washington & Lee University, Lucy has worked in a variety of areas including museums, art publications, and yes, fashion, before returning back to school. Most recently she worked as a writer for the president of the Savannah College of Art and Design.
