Course Details

Culture and Couture is designed to expose students to intercultural communication theory through the context of the fashion industry in Italy. The domestic classroom experience will focus on intercultural communication theory, intercultural communication competence and a comparative analysis of US to Italian cultural characteristics such as family, economic and political systems, technology, family, religion. The components of effective fashion design, branding and marketing will be explored using Italian designers and custom made wardrobing. We will link elements of design to fashion, class standing and rites and rituals of the Italian culture.
