TH 354 - Costume History

Institution:

Millikin University

Subject:

Theatre

Description:

This course focuses on the evolution of clothing throughout history. The exploration of costume includes not only ¿what¿ people wore, but ¿why¿ people wore what they did. War, economy, trends, and other pressures greatly influence what is considered to be fashionable, as well as what is considered to be the norm of a period. The context is especially important for those hoping to be costume designers for theatre and film, but is also helpful for directors, actors, dramaturges, and others interested in fashion.
