Description
This course explores the flexibility of cut & sew knitwear. From the comfort of the ubiquitous T-shirt to high performance athletic wear, fashion made with pliant knitted fabrics is everywhere. In its brief history since the invention of the button-less shirt in jersey fabric, sewn knitwear has ushered in radically modern dress through sportswear, dancewear, and athletic wear. Designers, stylistic innovation and technological processes are further examined through lectures and case studies. Students will explore the variations and design potential of flexible knitted fabrics, and the considerations, methods, and equipment to assemble and finish designs cut from knit fabric. Designers, stylistic innovation and technological processes are further examined through lectures and case studies. These include fashion designers Stephen Burrows, Rudi Gernreich, Xuly Bet, Coco Chanel, or Donna Karans 5 easy pieces, as well as in iconographic performances such as by Nicolais Louis Dance, or Martha Grahams “Lament’, or contemporary artists such as Erneste Neto or Malin Bulow. Students will explore the variations and design potential of flexible knitted fabrics, and the considerations, methods, and equipment to assemble and finish designs cut from knit fabric. They will drape, make patterns and block, and stitch finished garments from their design and research; first in a test fabric with similar properties, and then in a material, color and detail (optional) of their choice.

Description
In this workshop students develop a practical understanding of the procedures used by costume designers and their assistants and crew in film and television production. Weekly lectures and hands-on demonstrations focus on projects including breaking down a script based on character and scene, doing research towards developing characters through costume choices, and techniques used to present those choices to the director and producer. Students break down a script from a show in current production. Final critiques include presentation of the breakdown with clip file photos and drawings of their costume choices for the entire script.

Students will create in-depth research journals and develop a personal visualization style. Students will learn expansive fabric manipulations that lead to distinct styling and collection development to support capsule collection (three looks) development in intermediate studio. Particular attention is given to the use of color, texture, patterns, and design refinement. Pre req: Student must have completed FASH 2900 or receive instructor permission.

Description
Greek chitons, Elizabethan farthingales, Regency bum rolls, Victorian crinolines, Art Deco bias: the fashionable European body shape has changed era by era, the lines of the body accentuated and distorted through constrictions and protrusions. In this course, you will research those changing ideals of beauty through paintings, drawings, fashion plates, periodicals, literature, satire, and extant garments and organize your research into foundational tools to support future learning and making. Through the research you will also engage with traditional methods and techniques for creating these silhouettes; techniques and skills as essential to the student interested in historical costume design as those creating worlds of science fiction and fantasy. These investigations into changing the shape of the human body will also spark discussion around new ideas in sculpture, object design, creative motion, and the mutability of body identity. Readings from noted fashion historians and theorists Caroline Evans, Linda Baumgarten, Valerie Steele and the Fashioning the Body exhibition catalogue will be read in parallel with essays from feminist theorists and texts exploring ideas of embodiment and performativity. Remote visits with historians, reenactors, and archives such as the Newberry Library’s special collection and the Art Institute’s Textile collection will offer a rare opportunity to examine the qualities and materials of objects and garments made in a time distinct from our own. Projects throughout the course will include reference journals, illustrated glossaries, annotated bibliographies, historical sewing technique samplers, and half-scale structural garments. For final projects students will produce a research paper and a costume for a historical figure or fantastical character replicating the forms of beauty past.
Prerequisites
Co Req Forms of Beauty Past: Students must enroll in ARTHI 3098 and FASH 3098
