Made in Haiti
Otto's recent trip to California brought back this treasure of a newspaper, explaining Frau Fiber's project Made In Haiti (http://madeinhaiti09.wordpress.com/). To protect Haiti's textile industry from the exploitation of multi-national brands, Made in Haiti seeks to create a collective system of production by the people of Haiti for the people of Haiti. Awesome! Check out some of the details:
Fashioning Endurance
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!

a class trip sparks a discussion of how to keep what we make alive, be it a curated gallery show, or a painting. something to think about...
