Analysis of Clothing: From Flappers to ZootSuits
THEA 248
Spring 2016
| Section:
01
|
As we investigate clothing from a socio-cultural perspective, we will do a close reading of garments in these particular time periods. Our focus may include construction techniques, pattern making, identification of fibers and textiles, as well as their origins. Discussions will cover the fashion industry and its connection to both art and commercialism as well as its influence on diverse communities, among other topics. |
