Course Overview

How has American fashion forged its own identity beyond Paris, London, and Milan? We begin in Hollywood’s golden age, where films like Gone With the Wind and Breakfast at Tiffany’s shaped style and made costume designers cultural tastemakers. From wartime shifts to the rise of sportswear pioneer, Claire McCardell, we trace a distinctly American aesthetic through icons like Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. We’ll explore global influences and conclude with today’s vibrant Indigenous fashion movement, featuring designers such as Patricia Michaels. Join us for a rich, visually inspiring exploration of fashion, culture and creativity.
