Cultural Authentication
Cultural Authentication
The incorporation of elements from one culture to the next that leads to a
transformation from its original style, cultural authentication also allows changes to become
an integral part of a cultures dress.
3 Types of Cultural Authentication (Accounts for the mixtures that occur)
• Simple/Basic Authentication
o The Use of one item from a culture in the same way it’s used by original culture
• Temporal Authentication
o Time plays a key factor in this process
o When one reaches into one’s own culture/heritage to borrow elements for a
more contemporary adaptation.
• Temporo-Cultural Authentication
o Reaches back through time and across cultures lines
o Combines elements of history and culture
o For ideas to incorporate into contemporary fashion

• Characterization
o When that adaptation forms its own meaning and the culture changes the usage

symbolic meaning and identifies to that specific group that implemented the
