The Language Of Fashion: Communication, Conceptual Clothing, And The Runway Performance, Jarred Johnson
The Language Of Fashion: Communication, Conceptual Clothing, And The Runway Performance, Jarred Johnson
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
Scholars have long neglected the study of fashion as anything other than a socioeconomic and cultural phenomena that reflects the more substantial political and historical zeitgeist of a time period.
