THEA 223
Fall 2023 not offered
|
In this course, students will explore through a hands-on design approach the history of women's fashion and clothing in America and Europe. This history is long and diverse, with dress styles changing rapidly as the world and its expectations of women adapted and developed. In this course, you will study how social and economic change affected women's fashion in America--from the societal distinctions and separations of classes in the 18th century to the ready-to-wear era through the 21st century and the way it has shaped the female experience. We will analyze this through plays from each period, visual research, costume renderings, and materials research. |
