Art and Science

4 credits · Undergraduate

This course will widely explore fashion, art, and society, while focusing on the problem of clothing. Students will embark on a journey in search of the objects that the contemporary luxury industry seems to have buried under piles of glossy magazines, social media pages of so-called influencers, and fashion weeks’s calendars: clothing. What is a piece of clothing? How is it made? Who makes it? And for whom? To answer these questions, students will look at a variety of case-studies from modern and contemporary art, cinema, design, and, of course, fashion.
