historical bias on clothing, by Matthäus Schwarz, through mapping 
and  classication,  which  resulted  in  surveyed  works,  in  addition 
to highlighting the book by João Affonso, a pioneering work of the 
genre in Brazil. This work lists a set of works considered canonical 
because  they  present  important  aspects  of  the  process  of  use 
and circulation of images of costumes, categorized as clothing 
books, costume books, engraving and costume books, large 
illustrated books, romantic/historicist books and modern books. 
Such productions helped to reect on how the construction of an 
imaginary about the clothing present in publications that will give 
rise to the eld of the history of clothing took place.
On the other hand, the article “The Ronaldo Fraga Case and

describe  the  constitutive  elements  of  the  brand,  they  show  the 
creator's conceptions for the brand, his concept store - the Grande 
Hotel, as well as the vision of the managers and their consumers 
through  interviews  that  demonstrate  experiences  of  rapture  of 
materiality, antagonisms and the unusual and disconcerting effects 
of the sublime for the world and those who return to the creator.
And we close this dossier with the article “Femininities and 
intertextual relations: an experience of reading images from Vogue 
US magazine”, written by Káritha Bernardo de Macedo, which brings 
an account of a non-formal pedagogical experience by proposing 
the reading of three images to a group of 5 people of different 
genders and ages. The images were chosen because they refer to 
the cover of Vogue US Magazine with Beyoncé, in the September
