Fashion.edu Series
About the Series
The Arts of Fashion Foundation FASHION.EDU-SERIES was introduced in 2008 under the direction of Steven Faerm from Parsons the New School for Design in New York.
The FASHION.EDU-SERIES gives opportunities to 3 to 6 selected fashion educators - professors, artists and designers - who teach at fashion institutions in United States and abroad to present their research and publications to their peers.
During the academic year, professors are invited to submit to the Arts of Fashion Foundation a presentation proposal.
Professors who have recently published books and articles frequently use this opportunity to come and discuss their topics with the public.
