This course offers an inter-relational analysis of the History of Fashion and the History of Art, highlighting their connections with the historical, social, political and economic context. Often taught in a dissociated manner, both disciplines are explored here as manifestations that influence each other and reflect the spirit of their time. Through a chronological and critical exposition, the course aims to provide the student with a broader understanding of artistic movements and their correspondences in fashion. Encouraging a relational exercise, the course enables participants to identify and analyze new relationships, applicable to different areas of study and work.
