Whether it is a one-hour lecture or a full-day workshop, invite an expert or two from Artis Solomon to take your team “back to school” with lessons that shed light on specific styles of dress, cultures or critical moments in history, according to your needs and interests.

Fashion’s role in media and film is a character all its own, and the stories behind what we wear and what we wore is gaining in popularity. We can collaborate with you to bring thought-provoking stories to the screen, and get people talking about fashion history with fresh perspectives.

Fashion designers often draw inspiration from the past for their present creations. Consult with us to ensure the accuracy of your design(s) or to learn more about the history behind your inspiration.
