Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the validity of the notion that art and fashion are distinct and separate practices has eroded. Art as Fashion, Fashion as Art explores the collaborative relationship between the two. This course is intended for artists who are interested in the world of fashion and for fashion enthusiasts who are looking to approach design from a different, fresher perspective. We will work in class on assigned projects, explore unusual methods of making clothes, jewelry, and accessories, learn how to design a comprehensive collection, and put a portfolio together. You will be given readings and shown slides that illuminate the effect of current events, economics, and art on the fashion collections being shown in Europe, Asia, and the United States, as well as the ins and outs of the "rag trade." This course is open to students of all levels.
