Trends in fashion and interior decoration simultaneously shape and are shaped by the culture from which they grow. When we look at styles of a particular period, we see reflections not just of personal taste, but also social values, political and economic developments, influence of popular culture, new technology, and the overall mood of the period. Through lectures, discussions and visual research projects, this class will examine trends in fashion and décor as they relate to the cultures of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries, highlighting the correlation between fashion, decorative arts, architecture, and interior design.
