Fashion: Art & Business
"It's called fashion. Look it up.” In this workshop, we learn counter to the common misconception that fashion is shallow. We will examine several fascinating case studies to understand how the fashion industry works through art, commerce, and technological innovation. We will read about and discuss the evolution of editorials and magazines, fashion houses and their designers, fast fashion and sustainability movements, the conglomeration of the industry, and its ties to sports and Hollywood. Students will learn to source from industry journals and runway archives to create a simple website demonstrating their knowledge on a unique topic.
