Description:

"Every era has its own ethics and aesthetics. Aesthetics represent the way in which an historical period and the values it creates takes form. The perspective of a stustainable society has not yet 'taken form' and the aesthetics of sustainability has yet to be born." -Enzio Manzini What are the social and environmental ramifications of our design decisions, and how can we mitigate them through our ideas? How can we give visual form to new ways of thinking about, living with and engaging in fashion? Building on the instruction from sustainability seminar (Ecology of Clothing/Global Carbon Cycles: Local Fiber Ecologies) this class is structured around a series of projects, which allow time for the students to conduct their own primary and secondary research, and to develop creative responses to findings with supervised design and making instruction.
