"Like other kinds of design," says the course description, "fashion thrives on productive tensions between form and function, automation and craftsmanship, standardization and customization, universality and self-expression, and pragmatism and utopian vision. It exists in the service of others, and it can have profound consequences—social, political, cultural, economic, and environmental."
"Fashion As Design" is offered through Coursera, and more information on the class is offered here.
New York Magazine offered an interesting article about the effects of long-term minimalist style, plus Marie Kondo, plus pandemic on the way we decorate our homes. You can find the article, The new maximalism: The next big thing in home design is overstuffed, garish, and glorious, here.
