About the Course

Fashion as Design focuses on a selection of garments and accessories from around the world, ranging from kente cloth and denim to turtlenecks, swimwear, and 3D-printed dresses. Through these garments, you’ll take a closer look at what we wear, why we wear it, how it’s made, and what it means. Hear directly from a range of designers, makers, historians, and others working with clothing every day—and, in some cases, reinventing it for the future. Studio visits, interviews, and other resources introduce the history and development of each garment and their changing uses, meanings, and impact over time....

An awesome way to learn more about fashion, history, and behind-the-scenes of what fashion as design really is. This course might become dated in a few years but the information is still completely valid and raises good points about the fashion industry.

I really enjoyed the course. It opened my eyes to so many issues facing the world - and how small moves can motivate change. It also made me look at my wardrobe differently - putting new meaning behind pieces I never really thought about.

I really loved it because you get to aknowledge a lot of things about fashion that most of us ignore and are kind of essential to designing. I really recomend this course for any fashion lover or designer interested in the fashion industry.

Thank you for opening my eyes to the purposes behind our wardrobe choices. In the past year, my fashion choices have been, understatedly, limited. Can't wait to enjoy the statement of personal expression that fashion can offer.

The Course is amazing! So eye-opening and complete, the course compiles from the "birth" of items until the lifecycles of some products and approaches subjects such as sustainability, identity, culture, design. I truly recommend.

I learned a lot from this course, and it had one of the more active discussion groups I've seen in a Coursera course. I love that it went into the details of the exhibition and into how the exhibition was conceived and curated.

This was really fun and insightful. The week on Lifecycles was something that really stood out, all the items were historically significant. I do feel more confident in talking about and understanding the art side of fashion.

Thank you for sharing such an amazing material! Every single topic was interesting, made me think more about garments lifecycle and ethics. Clothes are not clothes enymore, every single piece have the story behind. Thank you!
