Fashion Journalism

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

Designers, bloggers, photographers, editors, publishers, politicians and activists all influence our global fashion industry today — be it from Nigerian fashion week to organically grown hemp apparel to the latest retail pop-up on M Street. The goal of this class will be to not only equip journalists with the multimedia skills needed to report on the dynamic world of fashion but to train them to perceive the financial, environmental, humans rights and artistic impacts of dress and style. Students will produce a variety of news stories and consider the many ethical issues shaping the future of fashion.
