Abstract: Transformable dresses are capable of incorporating the becoming of forms into a single object, thus offering a new perspective to investigate the relationship between the morphology and performativity of fashion. The analysis stems from Roland Barthes’ interpretation of the “endless” or “total” garment to focus on the role of transformable dresses in the 1910s’ European and American modernism and their effects on today’s digital and post-digital fashion.
