The 26-year-old, who was named campaign creative director for True Religion, previewed items from the brand’s Men’s Holiday 2015 campaign Saturday during New York Fashion Week. “It’s a blessing. I think when you get that title of being creative director some people take it for granted, and people in the fashion world truly under- stand what that means and for me that’s a huge step, and something I’m trying to do in the long run,” Westbrook said in an interview at the True Religion store in the Soho district of Manhattan. Westbrook, the Oklahoma City Thunder player who launched a line at Barney’s last year, said at True Religion, “my job is to come in with some more street style, different things that I see on a day-to-day basis from my peers.”In This photo shows a comparison to his Westbrook-XO- Fashion from the Uwi Twins Spring preview of Russell Barneys New York collection, Westbrook 2016 collection is modeled.

  • Becca Mccharen-Tran for Chromat
    Becca McCharen-Tran for Chromat MarVena M. Bhagratee & Isabel Lantigua Introduction Becca McCharen-Tran is a Queer contemporary designer based in Bushwick, New York. She is the founder and designer for the brand Chromat, which is known for their cage-like garments and 3D printing. Chromat has appeared at New York Fashion Week in 2015, 2016, and is expected to present for Spring, 2017. McCharen-Tran’s runway and print models typically consist of women who are transgender and plus-sized; designing for these women as well as having them model her clothing on the runway is what she is known for. She is also known for having an architectural eye when it comes to her garments. She has a deep love for scaffolding and looks at the body as a worksite, just like an architect would look at an unfinished building. Furthermore, McCharen-Tran is now experimenting with fashion technology which combines fashion and communication that is responsive to movement and/or the environment. Who exactly is Becca McCharen-Tran? McCharen-Tran is a small town girl from Lynchburg, Virginia. She was born on May 27, 1985. Today, she is the designer and founder of Chromat. She is just as surprised as anyone that she has made it this far in her career, considering she never intended to become a fashion designer. She has experience with designing garments and also has a solid background in architectural design. McCharen-Tran studied architecture at the University of Virginia. During this time, she had no major fashion influence around her, so one may wonder how her love for fashion came into being.

  • Council of Fashion Designers of America
    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.

  • Adaptive Fashion: a New Design Methodology for People with Disabilities
    Adaptive Fashion: A New Design Methodology for People with Disabilities A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Design in the Myron E. Ullman Jr. School of Design College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning by Cara Indiano BS in Fashion Design from University of Cincinnati Committee Chair Dr. Samantha Krukowski Committee Member Arti Sandhu Committee Member J. Antonio Islas-Munoz 4/2/19 iv ABSTRACT With 54 million US adults with disabilities and two adaptive fashion brands currently in the US, there is a huge gap in niche market that has been untapped. This is due to the systemic failures that contribute to a lack of visibility for people with disabilities(PWDs), a lack of centralized research on adaptive clothing, and a lack of will from the fashion industry. These systemic failures have far reaching consequences for PWDs and the fashion industry. This thesis proposes a methodology that will help fashion designers, efficiently design fashion for PWDs, without requiring the use of new and expensive equipment as well as be a grounds for researching new and testing old design solutions for PWDs, until a design system is created. v vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I’d like to take this opportunity to sincerely acknowledge all of those who got me to this point. First thank you to my committee Chair Dr. Samantha Krukowski, I truly appreciate you letting/making me steer my own ship, giving me pep talks/smack downs when I needed them, and helping me trust in my own guidance, I will take your lessons with me long after this is over.

The rhetoric attached to disabled bodies makes them seem negative, while the rhetoric attached to abled bodies is positive. This negative rhetoric applies to visual rhetoric as well, resulting in disabilities being largely ignored in the fields of advertisement. As they are now finally being incorporated, this brings up certain questions about the issues regarding the exploitation and representation of people with disabilities.

Now, however, death and attacks on farm workers comes more and more often from their employers or fel- low farmhands. Reports surfaced recently about a live- stock worker in Kabd who was allegedly beaten to death by his employer. The sponsor called police and alleged that the Bangladeshi worker had fallen from a roof and injured himself but after a post-mortem, it was clear that the man had suffered torture and multiple injuries. The sponsor then confessed to beating the worker, arguing that he was negligent in his duties. Whatever the excuse, there is no justification for physi- cal violence. No one has the right to physically abuse another. That is a crime and must be punished. We are a law-abiding nation. We must punish all those who break the laws, especially when it comes to the abuse and ill treatment of the weakest members of our society.

  • Scientific Method and Creative Process for Wearable Technologies from Invention to Innovation
    Airea: Arts and Interdisciplinary Research DOI: DOI: https://doi.org/10.2218/airea.2763 www.journals.ed.ac.uk/airea ARTICLE Scientific method and creative process for wearable technologies from invention to innovation Livia Tenuta a and Susanna Testa b The aim of the paper is demonstrating how in the contemporary scene the boundaries between scientific method and creative process are increasingly blurred finding innovation as the point of intersection of this discursive separation. The analysis identifies the object of investigation in the emergent field of fashion wearables. Indeed, the introduction of digital tools has had a significant impact on the fashion system, and wearable technologies represent the result of a new systemic interaction among diverse approaches belonging to different sectors. In this context, our purpose is to identify the moment when invention, seen as technological progress, becomes innovation, integrating and affecting people’s lives. To this end, the paper is firstly aimed in analyzing through case studies the different methods to design innovative fashion products. Both technology driven innovation and design driven innovation based methodologies are examined. The two strategies are compared and described in terms of phases, actors involved and validation of the obtained results, underlining the crucial stages of the process: the definition of the target and the scenario and the phase of product testing. This involves both traditional methods of data analysis for the technological functioning, based on numerically quantifiable parameters, and experimental verification based on the object-final user relationship. This test aims at “measuring” the effectiveness of the products in terms of comfort, usability, aesthetics and interaction.
