Karl's Manhattan Project TOMMY HILFIGER NET DROPS/2 BEAUTY’S NEW KISS/2 Women’sWWD Wear Daily • The Retailers’ FRIDAYDaily Newspaper • February 10, 2006 • $2.00 Beauty Karl’s Manhattan Project NEW YORK — After all the hype, fi nally it’s time for the most anticipated show of the New York season. “It’s all mixed together,” Karl Lagerfeld says of the manner in which he’ll present his Lagerfeld Collection and contemporary Karl Lagerfeld label at Cedar Lake, “which is the most modern way, no?” Similarly, he claims divergent inspirations. “There’s a northern infl uence — northern Europe, where I’m from,” he says. “The grays, the browns, the blacks, like Ibsen and Strindberg, but in a totally modern way, nothing specifi c. And it’s New York, too.” Got that? If not, no doubt it will all be clarifi ed tonight. Here, a look from the show. For more on New York, see pages 4 to 13. That’s Entertainment: A New Fashion Focus As Celebrity Takes Over By Lauren DeCarlo NEW YORK — If the winner of “American Idol” can snag a Grammy, could it be that one day soon the winner of “Project Runway” will be named the CFDA’s Designer of the Year? It’s not too far-fetched, as Kelly Clarkson’s Grammy on Wednesday night showed. The worlds of fashion and celebrity are becoming intertwined more tightly than a Gordian knot. And nothing illustrates that better than today’s schedule at New York Fashion Week: The day starts with a show for “Project Runway” — a program that most people in the fashion industry See Celebrity, Page24 PHOTO BY DAVID TURNER DAVID PHOTO BY 2 WWD, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2006 WWD.COM Hilfi ger Net Falls, Sale on Track By Vicki M.

    Council of Fashion Designers of America ANNUAL REPORT 2017 The mission of the Council of Fashion Designers of America is to strengthen the impact of American fashion in the global economy. B 1 Letter from the Chairwoman, Diane von Furstenberg, and the President and Chief Executive Officer, Steven Kolb In fashion, we respond to the world we live in, a point that was powerfully driven home in 2017. We were excited to see talents with broad cultural backgrounds and political ideas begin to express their experiences and beliefs through their collections. Diversity moved into the spotlight in ways we have never seen before. Designers embraced new approaches to business, from varying show formats to disruptive delivery cycles. It was also the year to make your voices heard, and CFDA listened. We engaged in civic initiatives important to our industry and partnered with Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and FWD.us. We also relaunched our CFDA Health Initiative with guidelines to help those impacted by sexual assault or other forms of abuse. There’s no going back. In 2018, CFDA is moving ahead at full speed with an increased focus on inclusivity and women in fashion, the latter through an exciting new study with Glamour magazine. We may be a reflection of the world we live in, but we also work hard to make that world a better place. Altruism, after all, never goes out of style. 3 CFDA STRENGTHENED PILLARS WITH MISSION-DRIVEN ACTIONS MEMBERSHIP Fashion Professional Fashion Civic+ Retail Partnership Week + Market Development Supply Chain Philanthropy Opportunities SUSTAINABILITY INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT SOCIAL AND EDITORIAL MARKETING AND EVENTS KEY UNCHANGED MODIFIED NEW PROVIDED INITIATIVES RELEVANT TO DESIGNERS EMERITUS AT EVERY STAGE OF CAREER DESIGNERS • Board Engagement • Philanthropy and Civic ICONIC Responsibility DESIGNERS • Mentorship • Editorial Visibility • Board Engagement • Fashion Week • Philanthropy and Civic ESTABLISHED Responsibility DESIGNERS • Mentorship • Editorial Visibility • NETWORK.

  • Building Best Practices for Fashion Design Pedagogy: Meaning, Preparation, and Impact
    Steven Faerm Building best practices for fashion design pedagogy: meaning, preparation, and impact Fecha de recepción: julio 2014 Building best practices for fashion Fecha de aceptación: marzo 2015 Versión final: julio 2015 design pedagogy: meaning, preparation, and impact Steven Faerm * Summary: Historically, universities have adopted a “sink or swim” approach with their hiring of art and design faculty. After years of professional experience, these new faculty enter classrooms without pedagogical training and are expected to succeed as educators. However, designing product and educating students require significantly different skill- sets. Additionally, faculty challenges are radically increased due to the seismic changes occurring in design education, the evolving student generation, and the increasingly volatile professional world for which students must be trained. Through trial and error, new faculty often rely on outdated teaching methods used during their own undergraduate experiences. This lack of faculty preparation negatively impacts programs, the graduates’ preparation, and ultimately our design industries. This article will discuss the critical need for tomorrow’s art and design faculty to acquire –and master– solid pedagogical skills if they are to successfully educate and train future designers. This study aims to provide fashion design educators and program directors with awareness for the importance of providing pedagogy support for new faculty in order to strengthen the students’ learning. Key words: design education - design pedagogy - student development - teaching - fashion design - fashion industry - Parsons - faculty - higher education.
