Fashion Retrospective:
Dressing for Success
1970s thru Today
Richard Aschenbrand, Dean of Visual Communications; CCAD
Remember leisure suits, wide ties, bellbottoms, three piece suits, mini skirts, gaucho pants, bow ties, lace-trimmed blouses and all the loads of "fashion" you've hauled to the Salvation Army at the end of their era?
CMC welcomes CCAD's Dean Aschenbrand for a virtual tour of business fashion over the past 30 years. How did the leisure suit give way to navy blue pinstripes? What's the evolution of casual Friday? Can we look forward to interesting, new trends - or will it be a case of the old becoming new again?
While it's easy to take for granted, we know instinctively that our fashion sense, or lack of it, has a greater impact on our individual success and professional image than we may want to admit. How do fashion and business attire determine our professional success? How have social, economic and political trends influenced fashion over the past 30 years? And, what is it we expect from the business fashion of the future and why does it matter?
The business of fashion touches Wall Street as much as it plays along Madison Avenue. Our own local CCAD Fashion Design Department works with and helps shape the fashions we wear. Dean Aschenbrand explores CCAD's role in the world of fashion.
Come prepared to ask lots of questions - what to wear, what not to wear for personal and professional success!
