The present article aims to observe the relation of the garments used in the legal environments and how they perpetuate a narrative of domination and exclusion that only hinders the practice of the true objective of justice: The attempt to resolve citizens’ wishes. As a research tool, Foucault’s studies are used, in a juridical-sociological methodology to reflect how in fact fashion implies yet another barrier, in an already so white, patriarchal and classist system, in access to justice. At first, fashion is seen as a discourse, then presenting a brief analysis of Foucault’s theories to then demonstrate the relationship between Fashion and Law. We conclude, then, how Fashion can function as a tool for maintaining an already violent power structure and as an obstacle to access to justice.Downloads
