Dzi Croquettes costumes in the fashion clothing scene, has as its central theme the pieces of clothing worn by dancers and actors of the Dzi Croquettes group, from the 1970s in Brazil, to create the atmosphere that generated the entire discussion of gender through the fusion of men’s and women’s clothing, which mixed delicate fabrics with fur and beards. The concepts of costumes and clothes were revisited to demonstrate how the group moved every day or current fashion pieces to build their costumes. According to Fausto Viana (2017) and Rita Bustamante (2008), costumes are specific garments for representation on stage, creating characters and a text through aesthetics. This thesis, however, is in line with the thinking of semiologist Lucia Santaella (2004; 2008) and fashion researcher Carlos Gardin (2008), who conceive that everyday clothing, or a piece extracted from fashion, also has a language non-verbal, translating an idea for the wearer and the viewer, bringing the costume closer to the clothing. Following this principle, during this article the concepts of clothing and costumes will be used as synonyms to analyze the clothing of the members of the Dzi Croquettes group.
