I'm planning the Fashionista class for ages (loosely) 9 & up, on Tuesday afternoons starting in October. I will let community interest be my guide, as always, and there is already some interest in an online iteration of this class as well. Please contact me with questions and feedback ... lilyfoil at yahoo dot com.
Fashionista (9 & up)
A survey of the history of modern dress in Europe and the US, with a focus on women designers from Claire McCardell to Miuccia Prada, their emancipatory influence as well as other cultural contexts and significance.
We will respond to these histories in multiple fashions (!), including creating sketches for our own lines (gathered together in an artists' book or portfolio), adorning ourselves and each other, and researching and writing about the designer of our choice, or about a theme that runs through the history we will be investigating.
