Fashion, more than a form of expression, is a powerful language that communicates our personality, emotions and intentions. Colors, central elements of fashion, play a fundamental role in this process, directly influencing how we are perceived and how we feel. The Science Behind Colors: Color psychology studies how colors affect our perceptions, emotions and behaviors. Each color has a specific frequency that vibrates in our body, causing different psychological reactions. Colors and their Emotions: •Red: Passion, energy, vitality, power, boldness. •Yellow: Joy, optimism, creativity, enthusiasm, joviality. •Blue: Tranquility, peace, trust, security, serenity. •Green: Harmony, balance, health, hope, renewal. •Pink: Love, affection, romanticism, femininity, delicacy. •Purple: Luxury, sophistication, power, creativity, mystery. •Black: Elegance, authority, professionalism, strength, mystery. •White: Purity, simplicity, peace, innocence, freshness. The Personality Palette: The colors we choose to wear reveal aspects of our personality. Warm colors, such as red, orange and yellow, express extroversion, dynamism and enthusiasm. Cold colors, such as blue, green and purple, reflect introspection, calm and seriousness. Color in Nonverbal Communication: Colors can be used to convey messages and intentions without the need for words. For example, wearing red to a job interview can convey confidence and authority, while wearing blue can convey calm and trustworthiness.

Capitalism has made rationality into a pervasive feature of human action and yet, far from heralding a loss of emotionality, capitalist culture has been accompanied with an unprecedented intensification of emotional life. This raises the question: how could we have become increasingly rationalized and more intensely emotional? Emotions as Commodities offers a simple hypothesis: that consumer acts and emotional life have become closely and inseparably intertwined with each other, each one defining and enabling the other. Commodities facilitate the experience of emotions, and so emotions are converted into commodities. The contributors of this volume present the co-production of emotions and commodities as a new type of commodity that has gone unseen and unanalyzed by theories of consumption – emodity. Indeed, this innovative book explores how emodity includes atmospherical or mood-producing commodities, relation-marking commodities and mental commodities, all of which the purpose it is to change and improve the self. Analysing a variety of modern day situations such as emotional management through music, creation of urban sexual atmospheres and emotional transformation through psychotherapy, Emotions as Commodities will appeal to scholars, postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers interested in fields such as Sociology, Cultural Studies, Marketing, Anthropology and Consumer Studies.
Fashion is the experience of pleasure we take in the gamble of dress. It is an emotional phenomenon that is embodied and intimately connected to biological processes in the body, our cognition, and in resonance with embodied social dynamics. The fashion industry taps into the excitement and pleasure we feel in our bodies when being admired and adored by our peers. If we are unpack fashion as a gamble, sustainable fashion is not restricted to garments and their environmental impact, but we can radically reimagine how to play the game of fashion. What if the task of clothing designers is to design a new game that facilitates new social-emotional relationships between players? In this book, von Busch and Hwang offer a theoretical framework to reimagine fashion through affective and embodied perspectives on play and gambling, and through this move put experience as the foundation of understanding of fashion as a socially embodied phenomenon.
