Who Wore What When (and Why?) The History of Fashion

Fashion history. Why is it important, and why should we study it? Because fashion is not an island; it’s a response. It’s a response to what is happening in the world that creates it, so there are reasons why people in the past wore what they did.

By taking us on a colorful journey through six historic eras, fashion historian Amanda Hallay will demonstrate how fashion was a direct response to the socio-economic, political, and cultural landscape, and why fashion history is one of the most telling optics through which to study the people of the past.
