Zero Waste Fashion, a new course in the School of Fashion at Parsons, challenged students to rethink the design process to produce garments with minimal fabric waste. The course is taught by TIMO RISSANEN, the university’s first professor of fashion design and sustainability. The final garments were exhibited at the Aronson Galleries and judged by ROGAN GREGORY and SCOTT MACKINLAY HAHN of the ecofriendly fashion label Loomstate. The winning design, an anorak by BFA Fashion Design student ANDRIA CRESCIONI, will be produced as part of Loomstate’s fall 2011 collection.
