FASH 307 A History of Fashion in 100 Objects

By decentering the traditionally Eurocentric focus of fashion history, students will come to understand the universality of fashion and how humans throughout history have utilized dress objects to signal status, construct identity and cultivate community. Through regular visits to the Fashion Study Collection, students will also be introduced to the material culture of dress, the evolution of fashion journalism, retail history and developments in manufacturing and construction.
