The thesis presents the look as object of research of a study on the field of fashion. It discusses the way in which the media incites visual dispositions to the agents, based on the practices of representation of the clothing product that are in line with the supports of visualization of the fashionable images. Through a field research carried out in a class of Fashion Design course at SENAI CETIQT College - RJ, during the semester of 2015/01, the forms of appropriation of visual conventions at play in fashion communication were analyzed. Photographs and questionnaires were used to construct the research data. By examining the field experiences, the information obtained was put into dialogue with theoretical references of the sociology of art and fashion, as well as the history of art. From the use of shop windows and fashion magazines, the context of fashion communication practices was delimited. The visual dispositions were analyzed according to the images and the interaction between the agents responsible for their production. Three visual patterns of perception were identified. The first refers to frontality as a characteristic resulting from the relationship between the practices of photography and the pose of models. The second is established by elegance as a meaning attributed to the set of elements visible in the images. And, the third is related to the space of the fashion shows and the way in which a monocular perspective is established due to the angles of the catwalks.
