BA(Hons) Fashion and Dress History
Welcome to the 2023 online Degree Show, featuring dissertation research by students from BA (Hons) Fashion and Dress History.
For these students, the dissertation is the fulfilment of a year’s intensive research. Topics emerge from students’ own enthusiasms and specialist teaching. Their independent study develops through a range of supported milestones, culminating in this final public presentation.
BA Fashion and Dress History is one of three undergraduate degrees exhibiting in the Degree Show from the History of Art and Design programme, alongside BA (Hons) History of Art and Design and BA (Hons) Visual Culture. As you will see, students’ projects in this programme cut across time and place, from the eighteenth century to the present, and include local concerns as well as international case studies. The themes cover gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity, class and taste, politics and protest, consumption and collecting, horror and pleasure, structures and their subversion. The images, objects, media and sites include the sacred and the profane, the elite and the humble. Students in the History of Art and Design programme engage with painting, photography and performance; film and digital media; advertising, periodicals and packaging; architecture, furniture and interiors; historic houses, galleries and exhibitions; fashion, dress and textiles. Students conduct research in libraries, archives and museums, and via interviews and fieldwork.
Please take your time to enjoy the fruits of their labour; we are truly proud of them.
