Fashion is a knowledge organization based on restricted access to goods and services. The fashion industry offers a functionalist perspective to Bourdieu's field theory and the critical divisions reproduced within it. With reference to three case studies, an explanatory overview of the fashion field, particularly in terms of participants within hierarchical boundaries, the culture required to join the field and the marks of distinction associated with clothing, will be empirically argued to better understand this phenomenon. macro-structural concept that exists within society. Ultimately, Bourdieu's usefulness for contemporary fashion will be demonstrated. London Fashion Week (LFW) is a manifestation of an area within the fashion industry. The term “field” can be defined as an analytical concept used to map an individual's preferences, actions, and social practices (Bourdieu, 1997). A physically closed area, LFW allows selected people to attend the event. Visible boundaries are materialized through large gates, guards, and the purchase of tickets to events (Entwistle and Rocamora, 2006) . These boundaries reinforce the division between elite individuals and ordinary outsiders and further emphasize the exclusivity of the LFW terrain, to the extent that only individuals belonging to the field and having a recognized position within it can access the event (Entwistle and Rocamora, 2006). Within the LFW, posts are one of the primary forms of social affirmation, indicating an individual's position and culture in the field. London Fashion Week reflects the fluid hierarchical relationships between industry players, such as leading designers, magazine editors, retailers and attendees. The strength of these relationships within LFW is measured...... middle of paper ...... in which they are found. Since domains are not analogous to classes, any individual can purchase any type of clothing, which represents a distinction about that individual. In this essay, visible boundaries, position and capital in the broader field of fashion have been discussed. The capital required to join elite high fashion clubs was explained and clothing was displayed as a mark of social distinction. Bourdieu's field theory provided a functionalist perspective to an explanatory overview of the fashion field, particularly in terms of participants within the boundaries and hierarchical system of the fashion industry. The clothing choices made by individuals are closely linked to the self-concept and are used as a means of self-expression. Ultimately, clothing has a function in role fulfillment and can be considered an essential social tool in the lives of individuals around the world..
