HISTORY AND THEORY OF FASHION IN MEXICO AND THE WORLD IN THE 20th CENTURY (CCM)
PROFESSOR ANA ELENA MALLET
FASHION FILM #SHOTONiPHONE & PODCASTS
During the second semester of 2021, our course, History and Theory of Fashion in Mexico and the World. XX Century was 100% digitally and therefore the outputs of each term had to respond to that format.
The results were exercises that sought to complement the visual culture of the students. From the beginning I proposed that we should understand Fashion at a glance, as a tool to see the world differently. The students developed their projects in teams, an experience that will give them the opportunity to understand the scope of collaboration. Based on these premises, the students worked on two projects: a podcast series of 5 chapters entitled Fashion and Liberation and a Fashion Film, recorded with Apple technology using an iPhone.
Both projects represented a challenge not only technically but also conceptually. I found the results to be very encouraging; the students, in addition to reviewing the topics covered in class and including them in their narratives, were able to identify current discussions, some of which are polemic but are present in fashion and are evident in everyday life.
The podcast and Fashion Film are media related to contemporary times. Using both media as tools for creativity and education, allowed us to experiment new meanings with instruments and techniques that are not traditionally used for these ends.
I am pleased with the results. I do think it was a round course, which fulfilled the program, the objectives and also encouraged creativity and a new way of seeing the everyday through the lens of Fashion.

TRASIEGO
Itzel Rivera, Héctor Mendoza, Ivette Elguea and Emilio González
TRASIEGO is a fashion film focused on showing the Mexican goth subculture outside of the stereotypes, preconceptions and scenarios that are traditionally assigned to it. It seeks to portray fashion and its close relationship with ways of life that question the status quo.
MANIFIESTO PUNK
André Garcí, Marianne Richaud, Krysta Paulina Hernández, Regina Sánchez García and Ana Cristina Campos Medina
This fashion film addresses punk as a social youth movement, parting from a punk manifesto written by the vocalist of the band Bad Religion, Greg Graffin. He developed the punk ideology and declared it as more than a musical genre. In this fashion film we seek to create a connection between the manifesto's five points and punk fashion to explore its transcendence as a medium for individual expression.
ENCUENTROS
Fernanda Garcilazo, Isabela Hallivis, María José Alvarez, Nicole Hernández and Vladimir Juarez
Fashion narrates the history of humanity. In this film, the story of two couples develops in two different epochs to contrast how the lgbt community has used clothing to express or hide their affection and identity.
PODCAST
MODA Y LIBERACIÓN
Cap. 1 - MODA Y PROTESTA
Itzel Rivera, Héctor Mendoza, Ivette Elguea and Emilio González
According to historian Quentin Bell, "the history of fashion is a history of protests." In this episode, fashion is analyzed as an instrument of rebellion within different social groups in the 20th century. Its socio-cultural and political relevance is explored beyond its heritage in the history of fashion.
Cap. 2 - SEXO, PUDOR Y MODA
Andrra García, Marianne Richaud, Krysta Paulina Hernández, Regina Sánchez García, Ana Cristina Campos Medina
In this chapter we will talk about fetiches, sex appeal, the objectification of women through fashion, and the idealization and appropriation of their bodies. We seek to dialogue about these topics in which we will discuss and reflect about the sexualization of women through fashion.
Cap. 3 - MODA Y COLECTIVOS
Fernanda Garcilazo, Isabela Hallivis, María José Alvarez, Nicole Hernández, Vladimir Juarez
In this chapter, we discuss the impact of fashion through the decades within the political, cultural and social scope and its function as a liberating mechanism for those groups who face a certain type of oppression. We revise historic events that help us understand the relationship between feminist collectives and the community lgbt and the importance of clothing and fashion.
Cap. 4 - NO ES CARIDAD, ES UNA OPORTUNIDAD
Monica Ruíz, Dora Montilla, Regina Tello, Joanna Wolff and Vanessa Anaya
The habit of Thrifting has existed in society forever, however, it was not until the introduction of consumer culture, that recycling or reusing garments began to be demonized, of course, that the opportunities for the less privileged did not improve so that they could buy completely new garments, of good quality and at affordable prices.
