Throughout this project, students will research historical influences on fashion through the lens of a fashion journalist. The lesson gives the students the prompt, “As a Fashion Journalist, you are constantly observing and reporting on the current styles and fashion trends. Your boss at the magazine, Today’s Trends, has tasked you with creating a mini magazine on the popular fashion trends of the past decade. (The trick here is that each student will be assigned a different decade - you are each placed at a different point in time!)” Each student will choose a different decade throughout history and then use reputable sources to create a mini magazine on Canva that features women’s clothing, men’s clothing, shoes, accessories, historical events, important individuals of the time, and more information about the given decade. This multi-day lesson plan includes complete instructions for the project as well as a grading rubric. Suggestions for reputable resources are also included. Students are graded on including a variety of information and following the set formatting parameters.

Throughout this project, students will research historical influences on fashion through the lens of a fashion historian. The lesson gives the students the prompt, “You are a fashion historian at the Smithsonian and your boss with the Clothing & Accessories division wants you to put together a virtual collection of textile garments that represent the 1900s You will be researching and finding historical garments and fashions using the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Historic Costume Collection database.” Students will find a garment in the collection from each of the decades listed and fill in the information as prompted in the template. This lesson is designed to take 2 class periods (50 minutes). It would be excellent to use as a project before a break or at the end of a unit. NOTE - If you reside close to Lincoln, Nebraska, it would be fun to take a field trip to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to be shown the Historic Costume Collection and to have the Textile, Merchandising and Fashion Design faculty tell you about specific garments, etc.
