New York City, October 2023
Fashion design and merchandising students from [Your School Name] recently embarked on an exciting and educational field trip to the heart of the fashion world, New York City. The trip, led by Dr. Crooks and Professors Prajje and Hill, provided students with invaluable insights into the fashion industry and its multifaceted aspects.
The highlight of the trip was a visit to the design offices of Authentic Lifestyle Brands, a renowned fashion company known for its work for many major brands, including Champion, Kirkland, and Express. Nora Pagel, the company's lead designer, graciously welcomed the students and offered a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process. Students had the opportunity to witness how ideas evolve from sketches to fully realized garments and gained firsthand knowledge of the design principles that drive the industry.
Another exciting stop on the itinerary was a visit to Mood, the iconic fabric store famously featured on the hit television show "Project Runway." Here, students were immersed in a world of textiles, colors, and textures. They navigated through the vast selection of fabrics, sourcing materials for their upcoming design projects. Mood's expert staff provided guidance and advice, further enhancing the students' understanding of the critical role that fabric plays in fashion creation.
The trip also included a visit to the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) for the "Food and Fashion" exhibit. At FIT, students explored the intriguing relationship between two artistic domains - fashion and food. The exhibit showcased how these seemingly distinct realms intersect and influence each other, offering a unique perspective on the creative processes involved in both disciplines.
For the students of Harcum College, this field trip was a valuable opportunity to expand their horizons, learn from industry professionals, and immerse themselves in the vibrant fashion scene of New York City. It ignited their passion for fashion design and merchandising, leaving them inspired and motivated to pursue their careers in this dynamic field.
