Excellent course. It expanded my knowledge on how art and fashion are intertwined. Most importantly it helped me see the possibilities in sustainability in the fashion industry and the environmental footprint fashion creates

I found this the most disappointing of the courses I have taken at MOMA during lockdown. There didnt seem to be much focus or discipline on some of the weeks with everything thrown in willy nilly - plus some rather weird features, like the australian designer from RMIT who designs outfits for dead people. And why would you dedicate NINETEEN minutes to door knocker earrings??!!

So I would only rate this 3 out of 5 (being generous because I loved some of the videos eg the couture theme Savile Row tailor and the final week biker jacket with LED lights)

I found the topics discussed and the various themes very interesting. However, as somebody having worked for a short period in the fashion world, this course offered very little in-depth knowledge. I would recommend it to people who want to become familiar with the industry, but not to people who already have basic knowledge since this course doesn't offer more than basic knowledge.

Excellent introduction to the world of fashion -- its history, designers, their design motivations and philosophies. This is done through readings, interviews and videos highlighting a wide range of selected garments and accessories. Many important themes such as heroes, expression, modesty, silhouettes and couture are covered in conjunction with the items. More information on the items items discussed can be found in the exhibition catalog, Items: Is Fashion Modern? which is written by two of the instructors, Paola Antonelli and Michelle Millar Fisher (Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2018). If you are a serious student of fashion or one who is just beginning to explore its complexities, this catalog is an terrific addition to your library

I learned so much in this course that I didn't even know I was interested in. If you even have the slightest interest in fashion, this is the course for you. I learned so many new interesting things about fashion that I wouldn't have even thought of before (the design process, history of garments, the cultural significance of garments, etc.). I would easily take it again and actually just might do so haha. I really cannot give this course enough praise. The additional resources and teaching methods (a combination of videos, interviews, readings) really allowed me and inspired me to explore so many areas outside of the course. They offer such a wealth of knowledge that I could do endless research.

As a fashion design major, I was still blown away by the contents and depth of this course. This course walked me on a journey of 110 garments and accessories that have shaped cultures, society, and individual expression. I learned about the history as well as the contextual reference of each item and was asked to reflect on my own clothing's significance as well. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to understand and be able to communicate the deeper meaning of why and why we wear what we do.

I loved the course, I learned a lot professionally and personally. These seven weeks, made me believe more in my love for fashion, but the fashion that adds to a better world.

I would like to use this space, to ask for help, because I wanted to pay the fee to get my certificate and I didn't find it on the website where I could do that. I would also like to receive more information for other courses focused on fashion. Thank you.

I really enjoyed the entire course. The themes and issues presented were thought-provoking and insightful.

I am very happy that this course was offered and that you let so many different people have their say. However, I personally found some (only a few) contributions poorly structured and not very enlightening. One for example was the video "Designer Kerby Jean-Raymond on the Hoodie". I think that this video was not well done (for example: I did not like the scrolling part).

Please add something other than items at some point it feels repetitive. Or make it interesting somehow towards the middle.

The course material is good but it doesn't give much opportunity to test the learning, it is very less interactive.

It’s good but not enough

Good intro for fashion

Seriously? Don't. What will you learn. Not much of interest. The testing questions are irrelevant. Like important learning is what 5 out of 7 materials were used to make some boots. They get ideas in the middle and change the course to suit. Like let's all now take pictures of our personal fashion and submit. Not. At the end a peer assesed essay determines if you pass. You get to write it again and again until you get 80%. Seriously? What qualifies these people to determine your pass? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I suggest Coursera look closer at the content of this course. I did it for "fun", didn't pay. If I had paid I'd be demanding my money back.

This course is wonderful. Informative, thought-provoking, heartfelt, and truly fantastic! I loved every minute I spent studying the course. The material is well researched, well compiled, well presented. Complex enough to get you to put on your thinking hat, and easy for the layman to understand and comprehend. This course showed me the world of fashion through my laptop screen while making me feel right at home! Definitely learnt a lot in these 7 weeks; all-round fantastic. Kudos and many many thanks to the instructors for giving us this opportunity to educate ourselves on the myriad world of the humble and proud clothes we all wear.

I don't work in the fashion industry and have never studied anything remotely art related but I've always been interested in fashion and seeing as I had more time on my hands during COVID-19, I decided to immerse myself in learning about fashion. This course was perfect for learning about fashion history, the who, where, what, why and how of fashion and also gave a great insight into sustainability and ethics around fashion which no doubt every fashion course should include! I feel like i've learnt so much around the theoretical side of fashion. Now bring on the practical!

Thank you for opening up a broader picture of fashion design, many times when you talk about "fashion" you only think about what is trend during the summer or fall, or why you visit outdated. Actually, the course taught me to have a more artistic perspective on the course, a provider of my knowledge from the origin of fashion, the meaning of the garments, the identities they have, their meaning and their enormous potential expression. The course has changed my thinking about fashion design, in which I now see it more deeply and give it the respect it deserves like all art.

I am very happy with this course. The material is exceptional, the videos, interviews and additional material really gave you a full understanding of the main questions address by the course. I highly recommended for people who are looking to increase their knowledge, not only about the most important garment that creates in our minds the conception of "fashion" trough the years, but also to understand the history behind them, the industry, and a necessary reflexion about the future of how fashion should be think, conceive, create and consume.

[‎04‎:‎09‎ ‎PM, ‎31‎/‎03‎/‎2020] Hites: Fashion is a one way to show own interpretations on front the society as designer ideology ...

Like when designer inspired by nature they want to our strength & power of our nature.

So this types of ideology to show stories so here

[‎04‎:‎27‎ ‎PM, ‎31‎/‎03‎/‎2020] Hites: As per mine Coursera is a one good way to explore so many thing from fashion industry... Here I know so many new things regarding to fashion ... So I'm very glad to do this course

MoMA's "Fashion as Design" is an excellent course and part of their 'Specialization Certificate.' The class can be taken by itself, though, and I would reccomend it.

I took "Fashion as Design" from MoMA to gain a deeper understanding of the 'Fashion World' and that's what I received... with some extra as it truly relates to 'Modernity' (and the Art World in the form of 'unique pieces' and styles).

Thanks to everyone at MoMA, Coursera and those that made this course happen, really great! - Evan

The Fashion as Design course, with its abundance of learning materials, has shifted the way I perceive fashion as a whole. It has made me compartmentalize the garments and focus on individual pieces, forcing me to analyze my own closet, my daily approach to the way I shop, I treat my garments and it definitely changed my outlook on the lifecycle, responsibility and ethics so undeniably linked to the fashion world nowadays, the design, the production, the materials choice and the disposability.

Thoroughly enjoyable and educational. This course has broadened my understanding of the items with which I have the most intimate relationship in my life: the clothes I choose to wear. The lessons are well constructed, a perfect size for consumption, pleasantly varied in their delivery, and each of the course leaders were a pleasure to listen to. I can firmly say this course will alter my perception of clothing for the rest of my life, I hope there is more like this available.

This is a great course for anyone with any interest in fashion. With topics as diverse as history, appropriation, sub cultures, evolution and recycling of styles, sustainability, and just about anything else you can think of.

It is well organized and is loaded with concise and thought provoking information in the form of interviews, videos, and articles. The curators are great and host online events every now and then. I love this course and I can't recommend it highly enough!

Fashion as Design course from MoMA was such a wonderful learning experience. The course challenges the learners about the deeper knowledge of fashion from design perspective and the passion for it. This made me feel like I was one of the learners at the lectures in the video which helped me to concentrate on the learning itself rather than anything else like taking the certificate or experiencing an online course. The wide variety of topics kept me highly motivated.
