IDC Colloquium: Fashion Media

The course will offer a combination of seminar and studio. In class students will explore the language and history of magazines, fashion and art publications in particular, photography, media, communication, marketing and branding. The class will provide context and offer talks, guest lectures and small hands-on projects in which students explore the issues that come up in class through making. The class is interactive and will cater to the needs and desires of the students who participate. The aim of this class is for students to understand the economic, cultural and social implications of their own work and of professional fashion media practice, and develop radically innovative strategies that will impact and change the current landscape of fashion and media.
