FINAL PAPER

A single image of fashionable dress will serve as the basis for an exploration and analysis of both historical style and the image itself. Each five-page paper will address somewhat different topics depending on the particular image, but for the most part will consider cultural context, designer, artist, model, materiality, etc. The image both guides and focuses the paper: a successful paper consistently analyzes the period and each category through the original image.
