The winning teams and their professors will be invited to New York City in June 2017 for the Biodesign Summit\, where they will present in front of a wide audience from the art\, design\, industrial\, and academic communities. Their work will then go on display at venues across the country.\n\n\nJudging will happen in two rounds. On May 1 at FIT\, the faculty advisors\, in conjunction with the our guest expert consultants who have worked with the FIT teams throughout the semester\, will assess the students’ projects and pick one team to go to the Biodesign Summit in June at the MoMA. At the Biodesign Summit\, a jury of experts will assess the attending teams’ projects and presentations and select the overall winners.\n\n\nThe four competing FIT teams are as follows:\n\n\nJellyfish Cuir. The team is experimenting with enzymatic extraction of collagen from overpopulations of jellyfish for use as an alternative biomaterial\, such as nonmammalian leather or biodegradable fishing line.\n#GrowaPair. This group is exploring the emerging world of living materials and exploiting decomposers\, microbial fermentation\, agricultural byproducts as fibers and a natural pigment source\, while addressing material challenges (waterproofness\, strength\, etc.) to “grow” a pair of shoes.\nThe Bioessence Bodysuit. The team is exploring wearable delivery systems of essential oil and medicinal plants to relieve symptoms of serious diseases\, such as cancer. Modeling the delivery system around the human lymphatic system\, the team aims to create a wearable bodysuit that can alleviate physical and emotional symptoms associated with cancer in a targeted way.\nSanit-Airy. This student is working on the methane air filter textile/ collection system to capture methane from existing processing (such as landfill collection \,cow feeds\, tanks or lagoons). The system would trap escaping methane with the assistance of fans to corral the gas toward the textile\, and exploring materials that can adsorb and controllably desorb methane for use as a fuel\, where the capture material itself is also a potential clean energy source.\n\nOur volunteer expert judges are:\n\n\n\nJames Lendemer\, assistant curator\, Institute of Systematic Botany\, expert in lichens and lichenicolous fungi\nJulie Wolf\, American Society for Microbiology\, researcher and science educator\nJulia Borden\, cell engineering researcher at Modern Meadows\nSebastian Cocioba\, owner and lead scientist at New York Botanics\, LLC\, a plant biotech R&D laboratory with a specialization in genetic engineering of novel ornamental crop species\, science educator\nNica Rabinowitz\, sustainable fashion designer\, textile artist and educator\, founder of Fiberhouse Collectives URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/fit-biodesign-challenge-presentations/ LOCATION:Robert Lagary Board Room\, Marvin Feldman Center\, Ninth Floor\, Fashion Institute of Technology\, New York City \, NY\, United States CATEGORIES:Expo ORGANIZER;CN="Theanne Shiros":MAILTO:theanne_schiros@fitnyc.edu GEO:40.7127837;-74.0059413 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Robert Lagary Board Room Marvin Feldman Center Ninth Floor Fashion Institute of Technology New York City NY United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Marvin Feldman Center\, Ninth Floor\, Fashion Institute of Technology:geo:-74.0059413,40.7127837 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170502 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170503 DTSTAMP:20260405T193828 CREATED:20170419T135012Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170501T180023Z UID:10004025-1493683200-1493769599@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:Fashion Design AAS Exhibition: Visionary: Breaking Boundaries — Closes DESCRIPTION:This slideshow requires JavaScript. \nThe spring 2017 AAS Fashion Design Exhibition\, Visionary: Breaking Boundaries\, features the work of 100 students.

Creators of both luxurious custom clothing and ready-to-wear sportswear have found a place in New York\, as have the retailers who marketed and sold these items and the journalists who authored the fashion news for the American public. Yet the New York dress experience goes beyond the industry\, encompassing a diversity of expressions of individuals and subcultures\, all drawn to the energy of this place of extremes. \nIn this symposium\, students in FIT’s MA program in Fashion and Textile Studies: History\, Theory\, Museum Practice will present papers on a range of topics\, investigating New York dress in the 19th and 20th centuries. From issues of gender and dress reform to design milestones and triumphs of the mainstream fashion system\, New Yorkers reimagine and reinvent themselves through dress. \nThis event is free and open to the public.
