Projects

The following projects were conducted to showcase the understanding and importance of art, dress, and culture within fashion through museums, film, and historical events. 

Fashion Museum Exhibition Review Paper

Visit (in person or virtually) and review a museum fashion exhibit of your choice. The purpose of this assignment is for you to develop analytical skills and broaden your vocabulary surrounding visual arts, while critically reflecting on the strong connections between fashion and art. This assignment will also help you observe and engage with the actual garments (form, surface, and presentation), understanding museums as crucial sites for fashion performance.

Fashion Film Critique

The connections between fashion and film have been in place since the emergence of cinema. You will analyze how fashion is portrayed in a film/TV show of your choosing. The purpose of this assignment is for you to develop your critical and analytical skills while, at the same time, applying your understanding of concepts in the study of fashion to a specific theme of culture.
