because this model's on a mission.
April 28-30 2006. Summer Rayne had back-to-back-to-back discussions with high school students on sustainable design at Pace University, Cooper Hewitt Design Museum and the Project Emerge Program at F.I.T.
At Pace, Oakes unveiled ECOFASHION 101 to 300 students at the Students for a Sustainable Future Expo. The “I Heart Design” Symposium at the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum brought a number of students from across the country to talk to cross-industry designers about their work. On the 30th, Oakes visited F.I.T. again to give a three-part workshop to high school design students. The workshop focused on brand building exercises; the emergence of sustainable design; the global and personal importance of incorporating “sustainability” in design; and a special look into stories from various designers including a display of 18 international eco-friendly design lines. Video and images coming soon.
