HAR018 - Evolution of Fashion Trends
Course Description
Fashion is a reflection of society's major events, and current trends in art, music, and technology. Fashion styles often cycle and repeat themselves as they are “reinvented” by current designers. In this class, you will learn about fashion from the 20th century to the present day and how events in art, music, history etc., influenced each fashion trend. You will also use FIT’s archives to see original designer garments as well as issues of vintage fashion magazines. Students will research a period that inspires them the most and create a final mood board to use as future fashion inspiration!Notes
