Vintage fashion in Czech Republic
 Hochmuthová, Terézia ; Holeček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kotík, Michal (referee)
This paper is concerned with contemporary usage of old clothing under the term "vintage". The interpretation is based on Gilles Lipovetsky's theory of fashion (vintage as a fashion phenomenon) and Roland Barthes' semiologic explanation of the fashion system (vintage as a fashion sign). Vintage as a fashion phenomenon is characterized by presence of the two typical modern cultural values. The value of human individuality is accomplished through connection of conformism and individualism, whilst the value of change is accomplished through appreciation of the fashion of the past. The described practice originated in the late 20th century in Western Europe and North America and is recently diffusing to the Czech Republic. In the local context it is developed and distributed in public with the help of mass media and garment industries. Legitimization of the fashion sign proceeds within the framework of the fashion discourse giving rise to the vintage as a collectively shared meaning. From this viewpoint this phenomenon reflects particular features of the contemporary society.
