Abstract

This work aims to find out if there was a change in the style of dress of Design-Fashion students at the Federal University of Ceará due to the violence in the issue of fear and the feeling of public insecurity and how this relationship occurs. It also intends to point out which pieces of clothing convey a sense of security to walk on public roads. The work had as its initial methodology the bibliographic research for the construction of the theoretical reference and later the quantitative and qualitative research, the first being applied through a questionnaire via the web among the students of the course without necessarily having suffered violence and / or having changed their style. as a result of it. From this questionnaire, four students were called who went through a case of violence and, according to them, the clothes may have contributed to what happened. From the interviews, we observed that the fear of being harassed or being mugged causes students to adopt protective mechanisms, the main one being clothing. The change in style is due to this fear, which often contradicts the taste. Over time, some students started to like this new style created in an attempt to feel safer. After completing this process, we found that fear, generated by violence, is one of the factors that influences the choice of clothes to walk on the streets. Transport, the bus being the main means of transportation for the interviewees and the place they intend to go to, also interfere in the choice due to the cases of robberies and harassments that happen within public transportation, and the place, because they are known or no, stigmatized or not, that is, they are linked to cases of violence. It was also verified that the T-shirt and jeans are the pieces that most convey a feeling of security because they cover a good part of the body and for not showing the shapes of that body.
