CETA 0912 - Making a Fashion Statement: Introduction to Fashion Theory

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Everybody knows that the “clothes make the man,” but fashion is also often considered “superficial” and pointless. There are fashion victims and multi-million dollar fashion businesses and plenty of television like Project Runway that will tell you what to wear and, of course, What Not to Wear. After all, everybody wears clothes, and if you didn’t, that would be a real fashion statement. This class will give an introduction to fashion theory, examining ideas from art, theatre, sociology, psychology, philosophy, design, and business to think through what fashion means now and historically.
