Centre for Sustainable Fashion presents:
This major retrospective will examine the origins, development and long term influence of the Ballets Russes, to celebrate celebrate their first seasons in Europe a hundred years ago.
Diaghilev’s extraordinary company, which survived a twenty-year rollercoaster of phenomenal successes and crippling problems, revolutionised ballet. As importantly, Diaghilev’s use of avant-garde composers, such as Stravinsky and designers such as Bakst, Goncharova, Picasso and Matisse, made a major contribution to the introduction of Modernism.
PARTIMI HOOKED T's now stocked at BEYOND THE VALLEY!Earlier this month I got to meet with fellow Fashioning the Future prize-winner Mary Hanlon from SOCIAL ALTERATIONS. We had the chance to talk through our ideas and share our enthusiasm for helping students to understand how to design responsibly.
See below for some snippets of conversation when Social Alterations asked several figures in the sustainable world what their take on responsible designs was, and why they think design students should care.
Speakers include:
David Goldsmith from The Swedish School of Textiles and Parsons
Eleanor Dorrien-Smith from PARTIMI
Kat Ross and Larissa Clark from the Environmental Justice Foundation
Carolina Gomez-Aubert from Lu/na/mano
and Sophie Koers from the Fair Wear Foundation.
