The intent of this thesis reflects my own artistic work within the expressive modes of fashion and costume design, through which I have been drawing a conceptual and aesthetic parallelism with the couture work of French fashion creator Paul Poiret (Paris: l 879-1944). It is also my intention to demonstrate, by my own designs, the anthropological possibility for a cross-cultural dimension to both experience and the transference of influences in a sarto1ial material culture. Sartorial hybridism can be comprehended in broad social and cultural phenomena like theatre, haute-couture, and fashion. It can also be specifically incorporated in a particular interdisciplinary creative process of work, and develop an oiiginal idea of intercultural patterns of dress. The creative intercultural dress project evolves from an artistic notion that grasps multiple material culture realities in a wide pool of aesthetic options. It develops a creative feed-back from surveying, reading, and interpreting classic and contemporary forms of dress hybridism in costume history. As anthropologist and dress creator, visualizing the impact of cultures on and through historic, traditional, and modem costumes has supported my belief that cross-cultural dress is a syncretic form of art, representing a creative reinterpretation of heterogeneous worldwide cultural material, imaginatively resulting in the formation of conceptually new fashionable configurations of clothing.
