description This article presents the debate on the formulation and the original proposals regarding Bernard Rudofsky s 1944 exhibition for the Museum of Modern Art of New York.

The exhibition established a dialogue between clothes and rationalized body, that turned out critical specifically among the difficult times after the end of Second World War.
