Özet
Küreselleşen dünyada kapitalist dizgenin sonuçlarından biri olan popüler kültürün toplumu etkilediği alanlardan biri kuşkusuz modadır. Moda, bireylerde popülerliği amaçladığı gibi onlara farklı yaşam tarzlarını sunarak da onları bu kültürün bir parçası konumuna getirmektedir. Bu yolla bireyleri sürekli tüketime teşvik eden moda onlara kendi düşüncelerini yansıtan birtakım kodlarla birlikte sunulmaktadır. Birey ise kendi ruhuna ve düşüncesine uygun giysiyi tüketmekte ve kendisi hakkında sözlü ya da yazılı iletişim kurmadan modanın görselliğini kullanarak duruşunu çevresine çoğu zaman böylesi bir yolla iletmeyi tercih etmektedir. Bu durumu anlamak için de birtakım görsel kodları çözümlemek gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, insanların neden özellikle bazı giysileri ve renkleri tercih ettikleri, renklerin altında yatan iletilerin neler olduğu saptanarak giysilerin neden düşünseli somut kılan araçlar oldukları tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu amaçla moda dünyasındaki giysiler iletişim bağlamında modelleri, renkleri ve aksesuarlarına göre görsel kodları açımlayabilmek adına göstergebilimsel çözümleme yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bunun için moda blogları, fotoğraf paylaşım siteleri ve televizyonlarda yayınlanan moda uzantılı popüler programlar çalışmanın ana evrenini oluşturmuştur. Bu çerçevede elde edilen bulguların değerlendirilmesi yalnızca araştırma kapsamındaki sonuçları ortaya koymak adına gereklidir. Çalışmanın sonucunda, giysilerin modanın bir parçası olarak özünde çeşitli düşüncelerle kodlandıkları, giysilerdeki ayrıntıların dahi topluma bir anlam ilettikleri tespit edilmiştir.
In a globalized world, one of the effects of popular culture, which is a consequence of capitalism, is undoubtedly fashion. As well as aiming popularity among individuals, fashion make them a part of popular culture by providing different lifestyles to them. In this way, while encouraging individuals to consumption, fashion is presented to them by codes which reflect their own thoughts. Individuals consume the clothing which is suitable to their spirit and thoughts and reflect themselves by using fashion’s visuality without having a word either via verbal or written communication. To understand this situation, some visual codes are needed to be resolved. In this study, why people choose some specific clothing items and colors, what messages lie beneath those colors and why clothes make thoughts concrete are tried to be identified. With this aim, clothes in fashion world are analyzed by semiotics to decipher the visual codes according to their colors, models and accessories in a communicational context.

Moreover, in this part, fashion system of Roland Barthes is determinative. Fashion system shows which clothing types reflect comfort or seriousness. For example, it can be seen here what kind of clothing styles make elites as ‘elite’. In addition to the identity of elite class, it gives a status and prestige to them as well. Secondly in the analyze, it has been seen that some of the colours have different codes according to their field of use. This analyze is important because those messages they involve in the society need to be understood. Particularly, combining colours with some other colours cause a differentiation on the messages.
