Fashion and Culture

Spring 2025, PUFY1235 CRN: 2356 Section B

Course Description

An integrated studio exploring contemporary couture, designer fashion, and the influences they draw from. The cultural backdrop related to fashion history will be explored, placing the changes of styles within the social, political, and economic context. Studio work will involve creative interpretations of lectures to strengthen understanding of concepts and/or synthesize them with the modern world.

Learning Outcomes

By the successful completion of this course, students will be able, at an introductory level, to:

1. Evaluate information gathered from images, objects and readings in order to question assumptions related to past and current practices of fashioning the body. (Weeks 1-15)

2. Exhibit familiarity with cultural-historical narratives in fashion history in order to identify possible intersections between fashion and cultural/artistic movements. (Weeks 7, 9)

3. Demonstrate the ability to extract information from various forms of research and translate it into written and studio practice. For example, utilizing “gathering” skills to collect found objects, transforming these objects through techniques in order to create meaningful forms of body ornamentation (Weeks 4, 6, 15)

4. Collate, integrate, and synthesize key concepts and skills in depth and breadth into cohesive studio-based projects. (Weeks 4, 6, 15)

5. Learn to transfer skills and knowledge gained in this course for use in your creative practices. Our third project is designed to contextualize work undertaken by students outside of our course. (Weeks 2-13)

6. Demonstrate fundamental literacy for the links between fashion and socio-political concepts and a capacity to describe how clothing has been used to express different types of identity such as gender, status, social rank, and socio and cultural affiliations. (Weeks 3,4,5,6)

7. Develop a responsible, reflective process of communication through self and peer critique. (Weeks 6, 15)

8. Reflect on their learning in posts on the Parsons Learning Portfolio. (Weeks 4, 10)

-Attend weekly class meetings in person on Friday from 12:10 pm - 2:50 pm.

-Post their grade-based work in Canvas and post reflections and progress reports in the Learning Portfolio if available.

-Body Ornamentation – Create a form. of body ornamentation using found objects, recording process of making and methods used through text description and visual references. (Word count 1800)

-Inspiration/Appropriation – Research evidence of cultural appropriation in fashion. Compare and contrast original cultural artifacts that could be a possible source of inspiration.

Participation and Attendance You are expected to attend every class session, and assigned museum exhibition from our start time to our finish time, unless you have alerted me in advance with good reason. In addition to attendance, you are expected to engage with and participate in the learning environment. This may include contributing to in-class or online discussions, asking thoughtful questions and initiating meaningful dialogue. Students will be asked to come prepared for class discussions through an assignment of a homework reading, outside research or small project. Participation in discussion is required. All in-class activities, including readings, group assignments and research are due at the end of the class. If you miss an in-class activity because of absence you will not be able to make it up.

Learning Portfolio

You will use the Parsons Learning Portfolio throughout your education at Parsons. It is an ongoing, cumulative repository for your creative development and experience across courses, and across years. It archives your working process, skills learned, and connections you make between assignments, courses, and years, as well as final “finished” work. The courses in the first year emphasize the process – how you started, what happened next (and why), and how you ended up at your final work for each project.

Showing preliminary work (sketches, drafts, notes, research, etc.) as well as final documentation of your work will help to tell your story and make connections that may not have otherwise been apparent. In Fashion and Cultures the Parsons Learning Portfolio will serve as a platform. to present projects, aid sharing and conversation, provide access to the breadth of your coursework this semester, and stimulate critically reflective learning, thinking, writing and making.

Make sure to use the MANDATORY Parsons Learning Portfolio Template- and do not change the template as this is a shared component of the Parsons experience. Also please add a Learning Portfolio link to your Canvas Bio. This allows fellow students and faculty to access your portfolio.

Learning Together/Community Agreement

● Our class time together is valuable. While in class, I ask that you concentrate exclusively on our conversation and activities. Do not allow yourself to get distracted by other activities on your screen(s) and beyond.

● All classroom interactions should be in support of group and individual learning. Please reach out to me if you have any concerns about the learning environment or classroom dynamics. Keep in mind the following:

● Practice active listening; ask questions; be curious.

● Recognize intent, address impact

● Don’t assume identity

● No one knows everything, everyone knows something, and together we know a lot: We all get to practice being humble, because we have something to learn from everyone in the room. We all have a responsibility to share what we know, as well as our question, so that others may learn from us.

● We can’t be articulate all the time & will make mistakes. Fashion History pronunciation is difficult. Do not worry if you say a designer name or art movement incorrectly. There is one particular designer whose name I struggle with all the time. I also have a New Jersey accent that leaves me tongue tied with French pronunciation.

Grading and Evaluation

Students’ ability to meet the course’s learning outcomes will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

● Attend regularly and communicate any challenge or absences to their faculty

● Solve problems, both creative and technical through an iterative process

● Turn in project assignments and course material on time

● Document their research in the development of projects

● Describe the cross-course exploration between the Studio and Seminar

● Participate in class discussions and critiques

● Be accountable in collaborative work

● Improve in technical, creative, and problem solving abilities

● Submit thoughtful studio works that have undertaken several stages of ideation.

About Attendance and Grading

Your final grade will be calculated based on class participation (40% total) and projects (60% total).

Weekly participation will allow you to successfully complete course projects and to contribute to our learning community.

Students who must miss a class session should notify the instructor and make up any missed work as soon as possible- ideally in an email prior to the class meeting. The student is responsible for following the course on Canvas and continuing to meet due dates, regardless of absences.
