Course Description

In the words of Louis XIV, “Fashion is the mirror of history. It reflects political, social and economic changes, rather than mere whimsy.” And as artist Andy Warhol rightly said, “Fashion is more art than art is.” Through time, art and fashion have influenced one another. Dress tells a story and provides clues as to the cultural beliefs of the time when artworks were produced. By looking at dress in art — using paintings, photographs, drawings and art installations from famous museums and galleries around the world — we’ll see that fashion and art have always had a long-lasting, passionate relationship. We will explore what fashion in (art) history can tell us about gender, sexuality, class, race and revolution. So, join us for an armchair world tour as we understand and appreciate fashion through famed artwork.
