The fashion of clothing is entirely connected into all Proust’s work and it is for this reason that we look at this two issues concerning the clothes: the Fortuny Leitmotif and the character Odette. Proust gave a very special attention to the Fortuny Leitmotif for the theme development evidences a detailed aesthetic architecture, which threads will find in their end clothes and the Fortuny tissue in consonance with art and cities, both reflecting entities of the affective space built by Proust’s texture. Concerning a distinct issue, although in a complementary literary thread, Odette, who does not participate of the leitmotif itself, emerges as an eternal character. The reason is that Odette has style and even though she does not follow fashion trends, she is one of the rare women who know how to build her own identity and otherness through her clothing representation. In other words, being for real on her time.
