This course adopts an interdisciplinary approach to investigate fashion communication as a specialized topic of communication studies. The notion of fashion will be assessed from different dimensions—textual, visual, physical, psychological and spatial; its intricate relations to art, culture, history, philosophy, media, marketing, democracy, discrimination and exploitation will be addressed. Meanwhile, the means of communication adopted by the international fashion conglomerates to market fashion, inclusive of fashion shows, journalism and advertising in the Asian context, will also be examined.
