FASHION STUDIES 3
THE BIG IDEAS: FASHION & IDENTITY
2
Identity is one of the most compelling and contentious concepts in the
humanities and social sciences. In psychology and sociology identity
is a person’s conception and expression of their individuality. As the
sociologist George Simmel famously stated this process often involves
???????????? ?? ???????? ???????? ???????? ??????????? ???? ?????????? ?????
those around you. Fashion is central to this endeavour and therefore
becomes inextricably implicated in constructions and reconstructions of
identity in both empowering and oppressive ways.
Fashion Studies 3 ‘The Big Ideas’ builds upon your previous learning
???????????? ??? ?????????? ???? ???????????? ???????? ??????? ?????????? ???

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
role fashion plays in the construction and transformation of consumer
and designer identities. Through a series of weekly lectures, readings
and tutorial activities you will critically engage with issues surrounding

and authoritative understanding of your practice and motivations as
a designer. As such this course complements your learning in design
electives, studios, and Professional Practice courses.

to know ‘who’s who’ (and hence ‘what’s what’). This involves
knowing who we are, knowing who others are, them knowing
who we are, us knowing who they think we are, and so on:
a multi-dimensional mapping of the human world and our
places in it, as individuals and as collectivities.’
