This semester, a brand new class, Materiality: Fashioning Endurance,was added to the Uptown fashion repertoire. Lucky for IDCers we can take it too! It's exciting to see Parsons' two fashion programs rubbing shoulders, and exchanging ideas about repair and sustainability. Taught by Timo Rissanen, he asks students to think about how design can play a role in repair, prior to the consumer who traditionally (if at all) performs the task of repair. While students explore traditional repair techniques, they are encouraged to invent new ways too- check them out in action below!
