We’ll still cover numerous fashion icons from Marie Antoinette to Lady Gaga, including Empress Josephine and Empress Eugenie, the Duchess of Windsor, Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Cher, and Madonna. But we’ll also highlight three fashionable women of color – Josephine Baker, Eva Peron, and Michelle Obama. Plus, we’ll watch two delightful films – a documentary entitled The Eye Has to Travel, featuring the legendary Diana Vreeland, and Funny Face, a romantic romp through the fashion world starring the incomparable Audrey Hepburn.

The course has been streamlined to run for eight weeks and it’s open to everyone, even if you took it before. So, join us as we explore with a fresh eye how personal style, fashion, culture, and history are dynamically interrelated – bravo, a stylish encore!

Format: Each class member will give a presentation on one of our featured icons. Two fashion-themed films with class discussions to follow are also on the agenda.

Resources/Expenses: The coordinator will assign online reading material and YouTube videos that are to be reviewed before each class session. No expenses.
