About this course
What do clothes say and how do we interpret them? Today, fashion is essential in the communication and creation of identities. We use dress to express our individuality or to fit into a community. Sub-cultures have specific looks, some clothes are highly controversial, and fashion is a multi-billion dollar industry. Based in Scandinavia’s fashion capital, this class explores the world of fashion and the ways meaning is ascribed to clothing.
