Description

This course explores the concept of fashion during the period of the early modern, and will employ an understanding of fashion as a cultural phenomenon that encompassed all aspects of early modern life. Influenced by differing religious and philosophical discourses, interpretations of social hierarchies, mass-migrations and colonialisation, shifting economic structures, etc., the fashion of dress and clothing during this period will be investigated as a part of ever-changing attitudes towards everyday life reflected in aspects of art, design, and media.
