IDC Ecologies: [Un] Fashion

PUIC 2500 | Spring 2012 | Faculty: Gabriel Asfour

Embedded in an understanding of culture, history and place, students in IDC Ecologies: (Un)Fashion will design with the body and their own identity as their principal site of exploration. Questioning their assumptions of fashion, students will expand their definitions of dress, garment, accessory, costume, fashion photography and fashion publications through critical exercises and projects for the body. The exercises and projects will include experimentation and exploration with construction, materials, forms, color, and issues of representation; and will be developed through a process of research and making of approximately fifteen (15) garments in fifteen (15) weeks.
