NOTE FROM THE CHAIR

Everyone wears clothes; hence everyone is involved in fashion. And design—creating form—is one of the activities that define us as human. Design reflects the values and habits of the community and culture, and through clothing we “fashion” the image we present to the world. Good fashion design and skilled marketing help consumers control and define the image they present. In the AAS Fashion Studies and Fashion Marketing programs here at Parsons our students acquire the language, the technology, and the tools they will need to design and market garments that advance fashion and foretell the future. Because Parsons is in New York, a global city, our students have the benefit of many overlapping and interesting cultures. Our on-campus and online students study at the intersection of multiple cultures, which creates opportunities and possibilities that are a reflection of our world now and in the future. The oncampus and online students in these two programs are from all over the world: Argentina, Alaska, Denmark, England, Korea, Japan, Germany, Dubai, Russia, Israel, New York, California, Ghana, France, Texas, Utah, Kansas and Ireland. They’ve been to the best schools both here and in their own country. They’ve had a wide variety of jobs: stock broker, ballerina, teacher, writer, engineer, attorney, secretary, architect, chef, medical doctor, and public relations manager. These experiences and backgrounds provide a rich cultural environment for their education at Parsons. Together with the Directors of Fashion Studies and Fashion Marketing, I salute the students in the 2008 Parsons AAS Program. Pamela Trought Klein Associate Dean of Professional Studies

Parsons A.A.S. Fashion Studies captures the eclectic nature of a leading New York City design school; the program enables the students’ creativity and imaginations to flourish. We educate the students using the latest theory, methods and technology available within the fashion industry. Our goal is to cultivate global partnerships and industry collaborations that will enrich the students' lives beyond their university experience. This includes maintaining a focus on current global fashion issues that address social and environmental concerns related to apparel and textile manufacturing. The degree program also offers crossdisciplinary courses and opportunities for independent study that provide alumni the opportunity to generate change upon entering the fashion industry.

section featured the AAS Line Debut reception in a full page spread and included photos of the exhibition garments as well as other studentcreated designs worn to the celebration. The yearly Line Debut exhibition serves to not only to present innovative and creative student designs but also as a setting to celebrate intensive academic achievement.

61

The 2008 Line Debut, a three-week juried exhibition in Parsons’ Arnold and Sheila Aronson Galleries, showcased the best work of graduating Parsons AAS Fashion Studies students. These outstanding designs displayed couture construction techniques, unique creativity, and exceptional talent. For the opening reception, AAS partnered with the Coalition to Prevent Deep-Vein Thrombosis, and AAS students designed distinctive leg-wear intended to assist in

preventing pulmonary embolisms. The designs were modeled by such New York luminaries as Anne Curry (NBC News anchor), Natalie Morales (Co-anchor “Today” Show) and Bob Woodruff (ABC News) in a runway show in Parsons’ new Sheila C. Johnson Design Center. During the reception, the Stacie Nipps Alumni Achievement Award was presented to celebrated designer—and 2003 AAS Fashion Studies alumnus—Jay Godfrey. The New York Times Style

Fashion Studies/Student Work /2008/Special Projects/Independent Study/Sustainable Raw Materials/Ingeo Earth Day Exhibition

Written by James Mendolia Assistant Professor Fashioin Marketing

73

It is our philosophy to educate the fashion students at Parsons regarding the importance of sustainable textiles. This knowledge will allow the students to rethink the design process and generate long term positive change upon entering the fashion industry. The objective of the Independent Study is to allow the fashion design students the opportunity to work with a Merchandiser to select sustainable raw materials that are friendly to the

environment. Students were able to discover the latest developments in eco-friendly fabrics and identify fabrics and trim that will work with their designs for a specific target market. A major consideration for the design students was to select eco-friendly fabrics that were unique and innovative and would not compromise their creativity. Students learn to conduct textile research along with their instructor to determine which mills manufacture sustainable

textiles and exactly what qualifies textiles as friendly to our environment. Some of the fabrics used in the study were created using Ingeo, the world’s first man-made fiber derived from 100% annually renewable resources, as well as fabrics that are made from organic cotton amd innovative organic and healthy fabrics derived from milk, and a fabric produced with crab's pulp. The independent study is a creative collaboration between instructors James Mendolia and

Julia Poteat. It was developed to allow fashion design students to explore the negative impacts on the Earth related to textile manufacturing and dyeing. The Ingeo Earth Day Exhibition provided a showcase for the fashion industry to see the work of several of Parsons’ emerging designers. Scott Amen, Christine Chang and Margaretta Braddock are taking steps to use eco-friendly raw materials to create innovative fashion designs with a social conscience. The Ingeo Earth Day Exhibition premiered in New York, and then traveled to Paris and Tokyo, three of the world’s leading fashion capitals. Our planet is in crisis and it is our responsibility to motivate our students to use their intellectual capacity to challenge the design process. It is my job to introduce the fashion students to newly developed fabrics that are eco-friendly and socially conscience, Parsons Students can lead the way in transforming fashion as they enter the industry. It is all about questioning the whole system that we are familiar with.

Fashion Studies/Student Work/2008/Special Projects/ Crstof Beaufays /Design Studio Master Class

Written By Deborah McNamara/Fashion Studies, 2006

83

Parson’s Design Studio Course instructed by Crstof Beaufays, Creative Assistant to JeanPaul Gaultier, stresses the importance of a designer’s process. One need not always have a final sketch in hand or vision of a garment in mind when one begins; rather, through experimentation a designer may create a work that would be unimaginable on paper or in the mind. Works of this nature are often the most impressive and memorable.

In this intensive two-week master’s class, each designer was challenged to deconstruct pre-existing knitted sweaters and, using the details and patterns from such garments, to reconstruct them into an original design incorporating woven fabrics and knits. Students utilized Mr. Beaufays’ orginal “volumolding” technique, which required fashioning batting or other voluminous articles to our dress forms; melting plastic over the

materials; removing the melted plastic and cutting it into pieces; patterning the pieces; and then recreating the initial shape using a fabric of our choosing. These unconventional design methods provided constant experimentation, and required the utmost creativity. The result of such creative processes was not merely beautiful and unique clothing to be worn, but truly the creation of works of art.

My experience in the class was undoubtedly a positive one; the emphasis was on creation…creation of ideas, designs, and ultimately, a completed garment. We were given ample time to explore our points of view as designers. This exploration was executed by each student individually, influenced not only by the opinions of Cristof but also by the welcome opinions of each other, resulting in an array of garments that pushed the boundaries of their own personal aesthetics. Each piece was created in an environment filled with dialogue, discussion, and analysis. I feel that this collaboration infuses each garment with a sense of life, for the beauty of each creation resides not only in mere appearance, but the energy it conveys to the world. The experience of this class is analogous to the whole of the Parson’s experience: exploration of self, combined with an informed collaboration of others, is the method of choice for learning at Parsons. The results speak for themselves, and can be described, simply, as great design.

New York City based designer Ardistia Dwiasri has always had a curiosity about art, illustration and fashion. A native of Indonesia, she received BA and master’s degree in industrial and manufacturing engineering from Northeastern University, along with an AAS degree in Fashion Studies from Parsons The New School for Design. Dwiasri’s first foray into the fashion industry was an internship with Diane Von Furstenberg that led to work with GAP, Ann Taylor, and Tommy Hilfiger. Eager to have her own unique point of view recognized, she decided to launch her own signature collection, Ardistia, for Spring/Summer 2007. Many in the fashion industry have noted Dwiasri’s intricate details and innovative silhouettes, along with her use of fine Italian fabrics. In October 2007 she received the fashion award from Biore/ Gen Art. In addition, she was profiled in WWD in April 2007 for “New Designers to Watch,” and in May of the same year, she received a Gen Art Ready-To-Wear nomination. The Ardistia Collection has been featured in Vogue Japan, New York Times Magazine, Zink, Daily Candy, style.com, and Audrey Magazines. It can also be found at specialty stores throughout the US, Canada and Asia.

Strong couture shapes and innovative elements are the foundation of the Ardistia Fall/Winter 08 Collection. The Biore/ Gen Art Award winner pays homage to the Guardian Goddesses of the Roman Empire who stood for both beauty and strength. Her exquisite, impeccably cut creations offer great versatility and subtle surprises. Each silhouette offers a reference to historical designs, which are converted into something entirely

modern. Ardistia’s emphasis on construction is at times precise and powerful but also offers delicate finishes that evoke an updated femininity and reveal interesting juxtapositions. A muted color palette of burgundy, plum, olive, mustard, winter white, deep black and charcoal grey give the collection a feeling of serenity. In addition, accents of silver armor gloss provide radiance to its full presentation.

Julia Poteat was born in Richmond, Virginia, and moved with her family to Cleveland, Ohio, when she was five years old. Her mother worked as a sample maker in Cleveland’s garment industry. From a very early age, she developed a passion for fashion, often drawing garments, making patterns and sewing them herself on her mother’s home sewing machine. Following her graduation from Glenville High School in 1962, she was accepted to Pratt Institute, in Brooklyn, New York, to study apparel design. During her senior year at Pratt, the fashion editor of Mademoiselle magazine approached her to model for their college issue. This was her entrée into the New York fashion industry. She continued in the modeling profession after graduating from Pratt with a BFA in fashion studies. While modeling for Seventh Avenue fashion houses in the 1970s, Julia began to freelance design for garment and textile companies as a print stylist. Inspired by the use of prints in the sleepwear industry, she used both her textile and garment design background, to become the Design Director for the Mary McFadden Sleepwear and Loungewear Division of Boutique Industries in 1981— a post she held until 1993. During her tenure, she won the Industry Tommy Award three times. This award is for the both the garment and the printed fabric used in its creation. While at Boutique Industries, she also designed sleepwear for the Givenchy, Ralph Lauren and Michael Kors Divisions. From 1993 until 2004, Julia was the Knit Sleepwear and Loungewear Design Director/Merchandiser for Shadowline Industries. Julia has always had an interest in education. When in 1996, she was askedto teach a class for the Associate Degree Program at Parsons by the chair Pamela Klein, she did not hesitate. While still

working in the fashion industry as a designer, she taught as part-time faculty. During this time, because of her experience in the garment industry, she was asked to become the Construction Coordinator of Fashion Methods. This is a title that she still holds. In 2004, she became a full-time faculty member at Parsons The New School for Design. Julia is a producer for the Line Debut (May) and Mid-Season Gallery Preview (December) shows that present the “best of the best” graduating AAS Fashion Studies students. Julia and James Mendolia, full-time AAS Fashion Marketing faculty member, have developed an independent study class promoting sustainability in the fashion industry. In 2006 Julia started the Eliza Collection, a handbag and accessory line.

NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR

114

This year, AAS Fashion Merchandising and Marketing faculty and students traveled to Italy and Guatemala. They studied on campus and online, finding solutions and asking questions about sustainability, empowerment in business and developing apparel supply chains to meet consumer needs in a challenging economic environment. Marketing is the strategic study of human behavior and exchanging information. Our students investigate the interrelationships between fashion design, merchandising and marketing analyzing the history and trends of our industry moving forward. While New York City remains the backdrop to Parsons study, we broaden our international scope though new media and technology. The examination of today's fashion culture finds a home on our campus and online environments, with students coming together in local and global discussion. The inspiring field of fashion has proven to be an inspiration for Fashion Marketing students, as you can see in the 2008 edition of WORK. Alice Demirjian Director of Fashion Marketing

This Summer 2008 AAS Fashion Marketing student Sarah Bang interned at LP&P by Catherine Fung and worked on the development of the new e-commerce web site www.shoplpandp.com. Here, designer Catherine Fung and Sara Bang interview each other, in conversations about Web development, mannequin mishaps and what it takes to launch a website. Designer Profile AAS Fashion Studies Alumna, Catherine Fung, launched The Little Prince & Piggy label (later named LP&P) in 2004 in New York. The line debuted at Saks Fifth Avenue’s New York flagship store, where matching outfits brightened the large window displays. Catherine has since been featured on the WB11 news, showcased her Fall/ Winter 2005 collection at the 20th Anniversary Gala of GIDC, and was honored with the Stacie Nipps Fashion Achievement Award from Parsons The New School of Design in 2007. Inspiration for The LP&P label comes from self-assured women from around the world, luxurious fabrications and old world technique, French jazz music and of course her dogs Little Prince and Piggy.

Designer Catherine Fung Interviews Sara Bang What most appealed to you about your position at LP&P? First of all, I really liked your designs. Your Fall/Winter knitwear collection is something that would appeal to every female. It is feminine, stylish, and each piece looks like a one-of-a-kind original piece. I also liked your involvement with the community by donating proceeds from your canine collection to various animal-friendly organizations in New York City. For me, it was important to learn from you, a business-owner and designer. I wanted to be able to observe your creative process, as well as learn day-to-day business operations. It helped that you understood where I was coming from, since you were also a student at Parsons at one point. In regards to e-commerce, what lessons have you learned? I have learned that there are many steps in developing an online store. Prior to the actual steps necessary to creating an online presence, I now comprehend the sheer amount of research that goes into a project such as this one. From understanding the current market, to knowing where to position LP&P in terms of competitors—every detail had to be carefully thought out before developing the website. And there are surprises—for example, I had no idea that it would take me so long to research the different shipping options we should offer to online shoppers. It is all about fine-tuning the smallest of details to make an online store run smoothly. Any memorable stories? We photographed all of our items featured in the online store on mannequins. After planning outfits, it took a good week to shoot all the pictures and variety of angles.

125

The six-foot tall mannequin was not very cooperative! Tourists enjoyed seeing me lose my struggle with the mannequin as they walked by our SoHo store. What one piece of advice would you give to incoming Parsons’ students? Pay attention in class. All my classes have been very useful in preparing me for an internship. For example, Fashion CAD (Photoshop) provided me with the tools to work on an e-commerce project. I understand how to enhance images and work with them so that they are web-ready. It definitely gave me a better understanding of the job market and the range of skills that employers are looking for. Sara Bang Interviews Catherine Fung What are your hopes for the new e-commerce (shoplpandp.com ) website? I have been receiving many inquiries from out of state and overseas customers about purchasing our merchandise. I’m so excited that I can finally satisfy their requests. I hope to create the same satisfying shopping experience online that customers have when they come into our SoHo store. Regarding the website, what do you find to be the most difficult challenge so far? It is a full time job, indeed, to keep all the photos, info and press up to date! What is your favorite memory in developing shoplpandp.com? Any examples that include the interns would be great. Please don’t hold back. It is always fun to undertake a group project with interns who have new ideas and fresh points of view. It’s refreshing to learn what people in the marketing side of the business think. It was very exciting to see each phase of the project achieved, especially the first time I saw the layout come together. It’s like seeing a baby from crawling to walking to running. Sara, good job with baby-sitting the online store from born to running! Any marketing tips on how we should introduce shoplpandp.com to the world? I’d like to do a soft launch in mid-August first and then we’ll have a launch party in the store in September. What will we do at the launch party? It will be a surprise! How has your education at Parsons been useful for you? It was a wonderful experience at Parsons. I love all my teachers. I still go back from time to time to visit them. I’m still learning from them every time when I see them. They have always been very supportive of my career. What one piece advice would you like to share with current Parsons’ students, whose hopes are to launch and develop their own brand? A dream doesn’t come true overnight. The only failure is quitting.

I am from Barcelona, Spain and came to New York City with a clear goal: attend Parsons The New School for Design and graduate in AAS Fashion Marketing. Driven by the creative environment of fashion, I incorporated my business and marketing skills into the study of design in the AAS Fashion Studies program. For me, the most important fact was not the major but the experience—learning came from the fastpaced environment, working crazy hours and meeting concrete deadlines. During my studies, I continued my hobby of designing jewelry, and thanks to the encouragement of my professors and the skills I developed in AAS classes, I decided to go for it, and my hobby became my job. I remember feeling regret for the “lost” and “unpaid” hours of internships but realize now I could never have started my own brand without them. Currently, I am working on a project with another designer, Sabel Contente. “Just for Openers” is an environmental pop-art form created using pull tabs from a variety of cans. The philosophy is based on the art of recycling. We try to demonstrate that the most unexpected materials can give birth to stunning designs. These are created in sterling silver, gold or rhodium-bathed white metal. They can also be anodized, graffitied and embellished with precious or semi-precious stones.

Fashion Marketing/Independent Study/Practicum in International Affairs Guatemala/2008

Written By Ashrita Jayaraman/Fashion Marketing, 2008

143

This year’s introduction of a course titled Practicum in International Affairs has proven to be a positive step forward in empowering the student body with an integrated, dynamically evolving environment that facilitates holistic problem solving and the sustainable implementation of solutions. The interdisciplinary practicum entertains an open yet converging discussion that works toward the symbiotic confluence of three dispa-

rate bodies—the artisanal women’s coalition residing in Laguna Atitlan (Guatamala), Parsons The New School for Design, and C.A.R.E., to realize a singular goal. The Mayan women’s association in Laguna Atitlan, called Ajkem’a Loy’a, is composed of fifteem highly skilled members who are looking to expand their retail base to cater a consumer niche of 35-year-old women in the New York market whose incomes average $60,000.

in the New York market. C.A.R.E., a non-governmental organization, has thus far offered substantial infrastructure and support to the women’s cooperative in Guatemala. The role of Parsons students has been selfmotivated and active, involving a two-fold approach of issue analysis/context evaluation and problem solving. Parsons students have worked to develop the best possible plans of action to accomplish the aspirations of Ajkem’a Loy’a.

The spring 2008 semester was spent coming up with potential solutions that would sustainably empower and channel the women’s skills and design talent toward the creation of a viable product line for the New York market. The class divided into three teams to address design, marketing, and business aspects of this endeavor. The business and marketing operating models were projected based on the design team’s product line prototypes to ensure effective sales in the New York retail environment. This process culminated in a field trip to Guatemala over the month of June 2008, where a series of workshops for the Mayan women’s group of artists and designers was hosted. These workshops stimulated and developed the operating knowledge base for local businesses as well, creating an international exchange of ideas and information that will benefit us all. Throughout this independent study, we have received an immense wealth of knowledge based on real life situations in the design world that are becoming more and more pertinent to countries that are seeking to evolve from their economically developing status. The confines of designing with limited resources, immense financial restrictionsand cultural differences have all made me understand that design must always take into consideration the environment as well as the market. To create a self sustainable market, we must put a stop to outsourcing and create a base of artisans and craftsman who can uphold the production line without the need to seek aide elsewhere. With this ideal in mind, We have participated in the design aspect and created branding merchandise that recalls the aesthetics of local art as well as appealing to the sophisticated taste of New York.

Fashion Merchandising: Italy students had an exceptional opportunity to visit an exhibition at the Ara Pacis Museum in Rome, titled 45 Years of Style: Valentino. Pages 160–161, 176–177.

147

I believe that Italy is the logical site for this course, as the country is one of the leaders in the fashion industry and has a long-standing tradition of international commerce. In addition to Italy’s beauty and charm, the Italian mills are internationally recognized for their creativity and cutting edge technology. Italian fashion designers are innovative and continue to lead the global marketplace in fashion. We travel to select cities in Italy to attend

international trade shows, visit textile mills, retailers, museums and major fashion companies. My students learn how to navigate the Italian market for raw materials, apparel suppliers, and fashion trends. Ultimately, this trip to Italy provides us with a foundation for global sourcing and complements skills learned at Parsons in New York City through experiential learning. This course enables the students to experience and understand the international business envi-

Parsons Fashion Merchanidsing: Italy provides students with hands-on experience in global sourcing.

Parsons allows me to draw on my passion for teaching and my industry experience to create innovative projects that address current global fashion issues. Through these projects I am able to mentor and support the students allowing their creativity to flourish. There is a unique connection with all of my students and I am always impressed with their ability to rethink the design, merchandising and marketing process in a very innovative way. It is an amazing feeling to be able to help a student get one step closer to achieving their dream.
