The course introduces students to the History of Fashion from ancient times up to today. Both theoretical and practical aspects will be studied, such as the influence of society and the history of the development of form, with an analysis of the elements making up a garment, and the changes in fashion over the centuries.
At the end of the course, the students will know how to:
• recognize the specific characteristics of each historic period;
• recognize the specific characteristics of the garments pertaining to each historic period;
• understand the rapport between fashion and society;
• recognize the changes in fashion over the centuries.
There will be lessons in the classroom as well as group sessions, projects, and visits to
museums and other places of interest.
When you purchase a lesson package, the AEF Academic Secretariat will customise your timetable to offer you a tailored learning experience. The school arranges session times flexibly, matching your availability with the tutor's to ensure you get the best learning experience in Florence.
Organizational Note: Depending on the course type and the package purchased, the school may combine the individual 45-minute lessons into a single, more structured study session (for example, 2, 3 or 4 lessons combined into a single meeting lasting from 90 to 180 minutes). Consequently, the frequency and length of individual appointments may vary from week to week, without affecting the total number of lessons included in your package.
If you need to reschedule or cancel a lesson, please let us know by email or at the welcome desk by 4:30pm the day before, and we'll arrange a new time together. Lessons cancelled after this time, or missed without notice, cannot be made up.
