HISTORY OF FASHION
HISTORY OF FASHION
Like history, fashion repeats itself. It is important to study the relationship between fashion, culture, society, and history. In this course, I studied the "History of Dress & Fashion: 19th century to present." Through in-depth study of fashion history, I was able to understand the past implications of clothing to better recognize the trajectory of where fashion is headed.
