RESUMO

Considering the lack of historiographical studies on the fashion retail, the more competitive sector with a growing importance in the Brazilian economy, and also recognizing the significant progress in the purchasing power of low-income classes once in recent years, the increasing consumption potential of emerging classes has sustained the economic expansion in Brazil -, this study aims to demonstrate that historically the retail sector has not been immune to the potential consumption of the low-income population. Either by the expansion of commercial areas, either by changing the retailing format, either by offering new and more affordable products, they tried to meet this growing demand. Thanks to the major fashion retailers, the street commercial points, the planned commercial centers such as malls, our research intended to reflect on the more democratic fashion offers, particularly products for women s clothing. This way, the retailing policies and strategies that approach the broader layers of the population have been revealed. Thus, the second half of the twentieth century was highlighted in the research. Also, by examining the retailing formats, sales techniques, products marketed, points of sale, and advertising campaigns, our work intended to demonstrate that the retail sector envisioned the social inequality inherent in the development of the country and found ways to meet the successive demands of low-income consumers. In this sense, there are questions intrinsic to this study: how the low-income population has access to fashion products? Has the insertion of the low-income consumption been made by means of sales policies? Or by means of financing options? How do prices become more affordable? Which changes have been promoted in products and retail outlets? Is there a popular aesthetic? What was the role of advertising in encouraging the consumption of fashion? It is possible to perceive that the democratization of fashion in Sao Paulo reflects the peculiarities of social and economic life of its in habitants
