BAGGAGE photography and print designs

Here are some photos from last year's B-More Bags project. The group chose to keep faces out of these shots, in reflection and tribute to women who are in hiding the House Of Ruth's shelter.

Individual Project - Maya

For this project I'd like to focus on fashion and cross-cultural understanding. Last summer I went to Dubai with the MICA Summer Study Abroad, where a bunch of girls from MICA teamed up with some Emirate girls there to create a blog and then a project from the blog. From our mission statement on the blog, our group came up with a product that's purpose was to get rid of misunderstandings and misconceptions of other cultures and unite them instead. I would like to try and create garment(s) that accomplishes this same goal. The blog that we created is bonding09.wordpress.com. I'm also currently reading a book entitled "Geography of Thought: How Asians and Westerners Think Differently... and Why" by Richard Nisbett which I'm hoping will help, and am looking at designers that think cross-culturally, such as Issey Miyake.

Petra; Collapsible forms

In my independent research project I would like to focus on the different collapsible structures and systems, which are used for various purposes. Such as function units on furniture, roller blinds, folding lampions, umbrellas, etc. I want to investigate possibilities of those systems and their potential usage in garment both functional and aesthetic.

Sarah's Proposal

I am going to do research on how people individualize obligatory cultural garments and the affects this modification has on tradition.

Guapo Magazine and Animalia

A former student was featured on the pages of this magazine, and I thought you might be interested in the site. (For Ashley Lloyd's work, scroll down to "Raised by Wolves".)
