Class Description
The world is changing, and fashion needs to change as well.
We discuss the current state of fashion and what got us here. How do we tell a compelling and powerful fashion story today? What does a brand look and sound like post 2020? We explore early sources of inspiration for fashion and examine tools and techniques we can adopt to disrupt the status quo. We also discuss the stories behind fashion ads, how to change them, and how to talk to our audience as if we mean it.
