This doctoral thesis aims to examine the Field of Fashion Design as a symbolic space for the production of needs and needs, which in the context of plus size fashion materialize through the absence of products. Our hypothesis is that needs and needs are produced in social structures, having their nature composed of economic, historical and symbolic phenomena operating in multiple layers. For these to become natural, they depend on a set of elements that are materialized in goods as a means of satisfying them. This phenomenon was observed in the interaction between the clothing industry and legitimation agents, which through historical processes modulate the way in which the subject relates to goods in the capitalist mode of production. The method used was based on theoretical foundations to explain that this phenomenon, when observed in the field of plus size fashion, brings a new perspective, qualitative field research, and bibliographical research.
