Summary/Abstract: The representations of fashion, social phenomenon par excellence, are the object of scriptural and poetic creations. The desire of fashion as desire of distinction, social membership and aesthetic representation is expressed in the comedies of Molière, Edme Boursault, Goldoni or Labiche, who portrayed the ridiculous aspects of a mimesis fascinated by the frivolity of appearance.
