- Can we use something as frivolous as fancy dress as a tool for political protest? Lucy Clayton explores the social significance and psychology of ordinary people in extraordinary outfits, revealing the surprisingly rebellious power of costume.
Writer Lucy Clayton is curator and host of the Dress:Fancy podcast.
__
At TEDxExeter 2019 our theme was The Art of the Possible. We’re living in an age of polarity where many communities are feeling more and more divided, against a backdrop of increasingly populist politics which risk dividing us even further. Our talks offer an opportunity to pause and consider the future we want to create, the possibilities that may be obscured in the busyness of our everyday lives, and how we might get there.

Anyone else hate it when you dress up and someone goes " oh who did you dress up for? " boi I dressed up for myself.
Everyone asks me if I'm having a date whenever I dress the way I like.
My answer always is "yes, and you know who it is."
In psychology and communication it triggers the feeling of double constraint. It's what stops people the most into doing new (and usually good) things, because if they do new things, they might break the homeostasis of how things go in their familly/friend circle. It blocks people from dressing up, it even blocks alcoholics from stopping drinking. Better explained in Pragmatics of Human Communication by Paul Watzlawick, Janet Beavin Bavelas and Donald deAvila Jackson. Very good blook.
@@Sqlut thank you very much for the read recommendation!
Will check it out
@@nairocamilo you're welcome, but it's not the most entertaining book if you are not fond of communication tho ;)
i asked my female colleague the same thing and being the blunt german that she is, she just said: i just felt like it. i was so impressed by that, that the next day i put on a nice dress shirt, dress pants and jacket and went to work like that. of course someone asked me why i would dress up. i also answered "meh, i just felt like it". we are the only 2 colleagues dressing up 3 or 4 times a week for work and no one asks us anymore. it does so much for your confidence! after work it is crazy how authoritative you seem to look and how people react to you with respect in the supermarket etc.
I loved this talk. Lucy has the power to take you for a walk somewhere you didn’t expect to go. She’s totally brilliant.
I admire the courage of her. I've never really been into costumes, acting, fashion or any of the sort. I admire her for wanting to be seen and having that confidence. I often hide myself from the public to hide my deepest and darkest secrets under a veil, under an act, a display of my own kind but not of courage, out of fear.
What a cracking talk. Brilliant presenter and such an intelligent and joyous take on the role of fancy dress. Really love seeing this kind of content from Ted.
To the 1% of you looking at this

@@00ooo000o why what is going on?
Why do we grow out of everything truly fun in life?
👍👍👍👍👍 I make an effort to dress up more now and it's almost like I offend ppl......OMGGG Why??? Look don't project your issues upon me ok. You had those issues before me anyway💯
Because people don't like for someone to look well when they don't. It makes them uncomfortable.
@@The_Dapper_Millennial never even thought about that, we are such a selfish species...
@@yasminesharifian3964 yes, the human race is naturally selfish
@@yasminesharifian3964 especially since capitalism and it's selfish greed has gone unfettered
In my middle-school years over 10-years ago I still remember this one girl who always dressed up a bit like a doll. I remember thinking she was a weirdo and I am not proud of my preconceived bias. Since then I've grown up to believe that it is really none of my business what someone wants to dress like for example. I think whatever makes you happy, as long as it is legal, go for it and do not let other peoples opinion of you define your reality.
I'd dress up every day, but I couldn't handle all the strangers talking to me, I'm too introverted. Loved the video though :)
Yasmine Sharifian introvert doesn’t mean unconfident
@@folatooreal8582 no, it means you get drained from socialising
Yasmine Sharifian I know so we agree
@@folatooreal8582 I just don't know where you got unconfident from 😂
I just smile and thank them and be on my way! it takes practice. I am so very introverted.

When I dress up..I show up for myself..
Thank you! This is a very interesting talk
These people saying great video before you even have enough time to finish watching it.
Maybe they adjusted the playback speed?!
Donny Brav I thought that but these people were saying it a minute after the vid came out.
@John G and you are so high and mighty...you just want to put women down, lame insecure Dusty man
Yea, the lame and insecure part is almost too obvious to bother pointing out. But _"Dusty",_ that just tickles me to no end for some reason, lols.
so if i dress up as Spiderman, i can pretend like im half spider.... sounds good to me!

have a good day my peeps😁😄😝
Who gets rage about dressing up ? News to me
It is a colloquial expression Dumbo
So beautiful
What is a dress really? Is the clothing we wear daily any less of a dress? No. So then why should any other dress be out of the question?
Very well done. I too love to make a statement with my clothes, in the 90’s it was the saying shirts to today doing fun runs dressed as super hero’s for dads rights.... ❤️
Thank you so much ... 🌹🌹🌹
Beautiful skirt and blouse on Lucy, she's so lucky not to be an apple shape 😁👍
Why don't these videos have italian subtitles? Please, put them.
You are an amazing woman
I should start wearing clothes. Nice outfit by the way, a very good looking lady.
Altyazı olsa keşke

Why take down my complimentary posts? ):
Maybe they haven't been taken down, they just disappeared in the middle of the comments pool. That happens quite often.
Did you search through literally *all* of the comments? They often get bumped back. Sometimes youtube has buggy issues as well.
Interesting, though hard data answering the question of how effective some of these 'activist costumes' were/are remains unanswered.
most interesting video ever

Remainers, those anti- global warming and 'anti-re-elect Trump in '20' types better ramp up their fancy dress then.
She is kool ...
What's wrong with TEDx ?
1985 dystopia?!
_The Handmaid's Tale_ has been written in 1985, hence the 1985's dystopia reference.
