Summary/Abstract: This article explores the ways in which contemporary fashion becomes a tool of protest against abuse, analyzing examples from art, performance, and fashion design. Starting from the YES OR NO? collection a work centered on the representation of trauma and power imbalances, the study investigates the relevance of chromatics, materiality, and form in constructing a visual discourse that challenges structural violence. Through references to designers and artists such as Hussein Chalayan, Nan Goldin, Marina Abramović, the article demonstrates how the body becomes a political space and how fashion functions as a platform for making suffering and resistance visible. The analysis highlights the ways in which clothing can function as armor, testimony, or manifesto, emphasizing the connection between aesthetics, ethics, and social struggle.
