About this event
What does it actually mean to design a garment from materials grown in New York State? Designers Mimi Prober, Melissa Ventosa Martin of Old Stone Trade and Karuna Scheinfeld of Four Objects talk regional supply chains, material development and the limits of local production with Susan Easton of the New York Fashion Innovation Center. Programmed with the FIT Sustainability Council for the college's Sustainability Awareness Week.
