Students will write a Research Paper on Fashion and/as Culture in Italy. This is simply a broad subject area. When beginning to write the paper, students will need to narrow their investigation and choose their specific topic within the broad subject area. For example:
Based on the art and fashion’s long-standing relationship, explore the influence of the great Italian Art on the Italian men’s and women’s way of dressing.
Considering Fashion a mirror of our times, explore how Italian Fashion reflects the way of life of the Italians;
Examine the political, economic and industrial factors contributing to the creation of the Italian fashion system.
