Franklin and Marshall College

Subject:

Description:

A course on French fashion as a literary and cultural phenomenon. We will look at literary representations of fashion as we consider the implications of fashion as a system of meaning. We will trace the history of haute couture and examine its role as a product for "cultural exportation." Usingliterary texts, film, fashion magazines, and internet sources, we will attempt to discover why fashion is so often considered "French," and we will consider the nature of the relationship between Frenchfashion and society in the 21st century.
