Abstract: This article consists in the discussion of the “training the eye” process of design students, taking the relationship between history and sociology as a crop for the examination of the female emancipation analysis based on the dressing relation. For that reason, the investigation works inside the fashion field and through the significance analysis of the works of four modern designers: Charles Frederick Worth, Paul Poiret, Christian Dior and Yves Saint Laurent.
Key words: training the eye, female appearance, visual discourse
