数十年にわたるファッションデザイン

This class combines fashion history with creative thinking and fashion design. It encourages students to apply their fashion history knowledge to today's fashion. Each lesson, students will briefly learn a trend in fashion history. We will analyze a look from that decade and draw it together step-by-step. Students will apply their knowledge and skills and design a modernized look and share it with us in the following class. Please note, the age range has been adjusted to accommodate older students.
