Fashion and Communication

1.00 credits · Undergraduate

This course examines contemporary issues in communicating fashion, placing recent trends in fashion and retail communication in a historical context and drawing from fashion theory to explore how media formats starting from print have communicated fashion aesthetics and promoted products and lifestyles to consumers. Students will also take a critical and intersectional approach to thinking through how fashion and dress function as embodied forms of communication of personal, cultural and subcultural identities.
