GLOBAL FASHION AND DESIGN (CM2110)

Home>Academic Catalog 2024-2025>Course Catalog>

We will investigate Paris and question it in relation to global fashion. How are Paris as a fashion city and its key figure La Parisienne discursively constructed? How are fashionable commodities produced, mediated, consumed? These questions will be analyzed in lectures, seminars, research projects, exhibition visits and excursions, and by making extensive use of film in addition to other visual media and textual sources.
