The fashion design system as it exists today is not precedented. It is not normal, and it is not compatible with a livable future on our planet.

Reclaiming Zero-Waste Making:
Parsons Workshop Series
I worked with a total of 76 students over the course of three months, bringing my research in historical zero-waste patternmaking and hand-sewing techniques to Parsons students in Y1 Sustainable Systems and Y3 Design studio.
My curriculum was designed to apply not just to fashion design students, but to challenge artists across disciplines to consider how retrospective knowledge- specifically pre-capitalist conceptions of production- could impact their own personal practice.
