Instructor: Golzar Selbe Naghshineh, LP, CGP

This seminar explores how fashion influences identity through the lens of heritage— how it’s either embraced or rejected in both cultural fashion and in what is passed down/inherited in families. What is inherited can be both a gift and a burden; heirlooms and inherited wardrobes carry meanings and identifications that create the opportunity to keep loved ones alive. The superego demands limitations on aesthetic presentation while culture offers norms that are often reinvented.

Personal narrative will guide the discussion of how the landscape of projections and identifications can contextualize the importance of fashion creating an opportunity to escape mortality. Participants are invited to bring their own fashion story, recollections, and heirlooms that shaped their identity with – or rejection of – fashion to deepen the conversation.

Registration is required. Sessions will not be recorded.
