An Inter-Disciplinary Approach to Styling Apparel for Social Media Content & Marketing Media

---

Abstract

In our daily social media experiences, visual content is curated and refined for the viewing public. As a pedagogical practice, academics are unsure of how to approach curriculum that prepares students for social media careers. Styling, a career once thought only applicable to traditional print media and celebrity or affluent clientele; is now a widely accessible venture due to social media’s endless potential for image and video content. In order to stay relevant in the ever-shifting technological giant of social media- a new inter-disciplinary approach to pedagogy in the course ‘Styling for Apparel’ was taken with impressive resulting content.

Keywords: inter-disciplinary teaching, social media, styling
