This writing course explores the language and forms of fashion -- through words and images. We look at the complex systems of fashion -- by unpacking sustainable fashion trends through readings and writing about ecologies, structures, and economies. By doing, this we learn to write with authority about our own design work, thought, and aesthetic. In writing about our own work as fashion designers, we use the lens of personal stories and theory. By looking at fashion this way, we can figure out what kinds of “fashion writing” and practice we, as individuals and as groups, want to involve ourselves in with a much-greater sense of power and accuracyWriting & Research in the Disciplines courses engage with the communications and information literacy skills relevant to the particular discipline at an advanced, upper-division level. Writing for Fashion Designers enables Fashion majors to explore the variety of writings in and about their discipline while developing essential communications skills through frequent writing assignments. The course is integral to the senior project for Fashion majors.
