Description

This studio-based course explores the relationship between art and fashion, looking specifically at how artists have used clothing and the creation of garments as a medium for their creative expression. "Art and Fashion" presents the work of artists and practitioners from the Futurists to today who clearly demonstrate the significance of fashion and clothing as an expression of the aesthetics and the philosophical issues of their times. Artists and practitioners such as Sonia Delaunay, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Beverly Semmes, Issey Miyake, Akira Isogawa, Wendy Parmour and Caroline Broadhead have all created individual one off garments for exhibition, production and the cat walk. Many have influenced fashion trends and museum collections. Studio projects will cover the design and construction of textiles and garments inspired by these artists and their practice.
