A history of the development of costume and fashion will be explored, from its practical and straightforward beginnings to the growth of the multibillion-dollar global industry that it is today. The survey will mirror the development of civilization from ancient Egypt to the present, focusing on trends in clothing, style, fabric, accessories, and footwear. This course will allow students to explore how fashion and the techniques used to create it relate to culture, societal changes, art, and its functionality.
