Faces and Places in Fashion

Since 1993, Professor Alice Papazian has exposed students to the fashion and culture of the world. Professor Papazian’s CL112 class, “Faces and Places in Fashion,” has featured lectures from top executives in the fashion industry and related fields. The course broadens students’ cultural horizons through organized visits to a variety of museums, exhibits, backstage dressing venues, and design rooms, including the Metropolitan Opera House. Held weekly on Mondays from 4:00pm-5:00pm in the Katie Murphy Amphitheatre, non-registered students are welcome to attend.

Presently, this course is being taught by Joshua Williams. With a master's degree in Global Fashion Management from FIT, Professor Williams has over ten years experience as a creative director, stylist, and producer.
