SBS 3201 is the study of theories related to appearance, clothing, and fashion, and their influences on cultural identities, gender perceptions, and fashion product consumption. I examined contemporary dress from cultures outside and within the United States. The dress was analyzed as a communication system that indicates individuality as well as position within specific social systems of kinship, economy, religion, and polity. Technologies and types of dress of a particular society were analyzed and understood as they link to patterns of behavior such as beliefs about morality, hygiene, ritual, and beauty.
Debbie’s Book – My main project was to create a book of my own to develop an understanding of my consumption patterns throughout your life thus far. After reading Love, Loss & What I Wore I was able to recall different fashions/ fashion styles/ fads that emotionally marked a time in my life.
Another project done in this class was SHURI – BLACK PANTHER.
