In this chapter, Swedish philosopher Sven-Olov Wallenstein traces a series of versions of nineteenth-century anxiety connected to industrialism and mobility, an anxiety that continued into early twentieth-century modernism, and one which may be understood as the acute question of what could be accepted as the organic expression of the contemporary moment. Fashion here appears both as the very image of a severing of form and content, of an undoing of the ‘juncture’ between the architectural body and its outward appearance, but also, as in Le Corbusier, as the model for a new and more flexible ‘fit’ between body and movement.
