Serie de arte de un semestre completo sobre diseño de moda: diseñadores famosos, clásicos y contemporáneos

This is a 16-Week Semester Series. Classes will meet ONCE every week through the course of the curriculum.
In this engaging course, we will delve into the lives and legacies of renowned fashion designers, unraveling the mysteries of their creative processes. We will also discover the profound impact these designers have had on the fashion industry and their remarkable contributions to art and culture. Through vibrant discussions and hands-on projects, students will embark on a fascinating journey of discovery, understanding how fashion transcends mere clothing to become an art form and a cultural statement.
Weeks 1-14 will provide students a unique opportunity to learn from the classic masters of famous fashion houses and draw inspirations to their own creative endeavors.
