Clothing articles are used each day more by contemporary artists. They utilize fashion related theories to establish in their artworks messages about political, economic and social issues. Through the analysis of artworks from two contemporary artists, Ai Weiwei and Doris Salcedo, an understanding of why they used the clothing in their work will be exposed in this paper. After examining selected pieces from Ai Weiwei that were inspired by clothing, the installation Laundromat (2016) will be dissected. In this artwork the associations to fashion become clear. Even though the installation is composed of clothing from everyday life, it is fashion not dress, that the artist exhibits here. This will be demonstrated through his idea of how the fashion consumption disregards clothing functionality and exposes visual signifiers of social hierarchy and cultural background. Doris Salcedo provides the viewer with an aesthetic based on the material culture of her country. Her will to expose trauma and memory is rooted in clothing and textiles in many of her artworks. In Atrabiliarios (1992-2004), her position to reveal the identity of the people that disappeared in mass graves goes through the spectrum of shoes found in corpses. Thus, she connects these articles to the construction of a fashion identity related to an individual's taste while also giving them the opportunity to recount the time of the death through the visual context of a specific moment in fashion history. This paper will end with an analysis on the importance of having in museum and university collections clothing from everyday life. Today, fashion has spread to many different fields of study and it is imperative that institutions view these items with the same respect as they see haute couture. The importance given by contemporary artists to fashion will serve as the point of departure to question curatorial approaches that undermine the value of everyday fashion.
