This exploratory article analyzes in a qualitatively way clothing trajectories of people who inhabit non-hegemonic bodies and participate in spaces of feminist activism. A series of interviews were carried out with the objective of knowing first-hand experiences in which clothing is used as a tool to actively raise transgressive messages that claim their identities. During the interviews we could also understand how subjectivities are configured on the margins of a society like Peru, where getting dressed responds to tacit and strict rules and fashion is ad-dressed to hegemonic bodies that also fit binarism.
