Uniform(ity) & Digital Dress Codes

Aug 22, 2008

The dress code variance for office workers - heading out of Shinagawa station's East exit.

The extent to which its acceptable that other carried objects (bags, mobile phone) can be used to project identity, status, peer group affiliation. In a world where, in real time, its increasingly easy to match people with their various digital identities - the contexts where digital dress codes will become increasingly important. And to whom.

Visitors to Japan wanting to witness something a little more dense-urban should be in Shinagawa station by eight o'clock - the volume, direction and uniformity of the commuters is well beyond the norm.
