In 1906, Paul Poiret liberated women from the corset, which used to be "underwear." In 1964, Marshall McLuhan defined clothing as an extension of the body's skin, a "second skin," in his book "Media Theory." Following part of that theory, philosopher Seiichi Washida defined the body itself as the "first clothing" rather than clothing as the second skin. However, the discourse on the concept of "second skin" is still valid in today's clothing production, and the definition has not changed. The distance between skin and clothing is getting further and closer. Where is the boundary in modern society. I question the common sense that clothing is a second skin for humans, and reexamine this relationship from the perspective of "shedding."
