The powers that be at my community college (where I am a theatrical costume and set designer) have decided to start a Fashion Design and Merchandizing program (the push seems to be from the merchandizing/businesss side) and they are expecting me to teach the history of costume, basic sewing, and textiles. They seem to be leaning toward using books from Pearson and the the text for costume history they are looking at is 'History of World Costume and Fashion' by Daniel Delis Hill. Anyone know this text and have a comment? (I suggested 'Survey of Historic Costume' by Tortora& Eubanks -- don't know if they will listen to me). Other texts they are looking at are 'The Sewing Book' by Alison Smith and 'Textiles' by Kadolph. Any comments?
I've actually got a desk copy of Kadolph coming -- and I like the swatch kit that they can get with it. I didn't know that there was a costume book too, or I would have had my Pearson Rep send me a copy of that one too.
I <3 my Pearson rep!
