Dress Wars

Synopsis

Fashion underlines our individuality – or does it? What do dress codes tell us about conventions? Whether normcore, „old money style“, school uniforms or police uniforms – clothing reveals a lot about the identity, tradition and status of its wearers. Fashion is therefore more than style: it is pure psychology and a reflection of its time.

Ep. 1: Uniform of Life (2025-09-25)

Fashion is a statement – sometimes a uniform, sometimes rebellion. In Paris and London, fashion experts meet subcultures, luxury and street fashion. Why do bankers wear uniforms without knowing it? And how does fashion influence our status? Influencer Momo Bonvivant and psychologist Carolyn Mair analyze trends between mainstream and individuality.
Ep. 2: Fascination uniform (2025-09-25)

Unify uniforms, exclude them, give identity. Whether soldiers, students or police officers - every environment has its own uniform. But what does she do to us? Why have students in London worn the same clothes for centuries? Why is a school uniform a political issue in France - and a privilege in Nepal? The documentary tells the story of the uniform.
