| Description: Fashion is both a creative and a commercial enterprise. We will examine iconic French designs and designers, haute couture, the concept of brands, fashion media, and industry as a backdrop for understanding the aesthetic and socioeconomic dimensions of French fashion, and the way in which trends mirror contemporary values and culture. Issues discussed will include French cultural movements (the mechanics and dynamics of cycles, trends, and fads), the various market segments of the French fashion industry, the impact of globalization, as well as innovative French fashion and sustainability. The course may include events and talks. |
