turismo de clase [class tourism]

‘turismo de clase’ [‘class tourism’] analyses the romanticisation of poverty, via a façade of authenticity and vulnerability, by luxury brands. The fashion industry constantly tries to incorporate certain aspects characteristic of the working class to give itself an air of genuineness, even if the approach is wrong.
The thesis puts the spotlight on everyday issues that we often ignore because we take them for granted, highlighting their inevitable link with the fashion world, and inviting us to reconsider established social paradigms.
