This is a 10 Week Semester Series. Classes will meet ONCE every week through the course of the curriculum.

Part 1 of this comprehensive fashion history class spans from the 1910s to 1950s trends. We dive into the nuances of each era, understanding the interplay between culture and fashion. Students learn illustrative skills and croqui template construction, starting with the post-war liberated styles of the 1910s and the art deco designs of 1920s, moving through Hollywood glamour in the '30s, wartime fashion in the '40s, and rock 'n' roll influences in the '50s.

Students who have completed this Part 1 series are highly encouraged to continue to Part 2 where we will explore the trends for the rest of the 19th century to the present day. Here is the link for the details:
