Featured from the Resource Room: FILZ FELT: Art, Crafts, and Design by Katharina Thomas
Katharina is putting to question the modern trend of felt in all art fields. She provides imagery of great felt design from fashion design to interior.
FILZ FELT is available in the Reference section of the Fibers Resource room.
Every once in a while we come across a clever and hilarious street art project that makes our hearts sing. In this case, our hearts are belting out the lyrics to Lionel Richie songs and we couldn't be happier about it.
It’s no secret that SCAD alumni have made their mark on the planet...
Summer Internship Spotlights: Spencer Malinski
What company did you intern for and what did you do exactly?
This summer I was a design intern at Zac Posen. Along with the typical intern errands, I dyed and painted fabric samples as well as assisted in various aspects of gown production.
What was your experience like?
The experience was interesting. I definitely got an idea of what it is like to work in a couture atelier environment.
Did the education you've gotten at SCAD help you during your internship?
Yes. Although I have not taken a dyeing class at SCAD yet, I had been taught enough information to be able to know my way around Zac Posen's dye lab. Aside from technical skills, SCAD has refined my work ethic, ability to use criticism effectively, and just my overall thought process in experimentation with materials.
Have you learned anything through your internship which you now incorporate into your work?
Through the internship I learned that ideas and designs have a very quick turn-around rate. Some ideas are used and some aren't; as a designer you always have to be thinking and coming up with new ideas and concepts.
Congratulations graduating seniors!
Congratulations to all of the fibers seniors graduating this fall quarter!

Featured from the Resource Room: the art fabric: mainstream by Mildred Constantine / Jack Lenor Larsen
Mildred Constantine and Jack Lenor Larsen compile a collection of textile arts that were important in the arts of the 1970's. All selections were made by them, thus proving proving their artistic aesthetic and style.
The book is filled with very tactile and progressive textiles, such as 'Tetsuo Kusama' and 'Richard Landis'.
the art fabric: mainstream is available in the Textile History section of the Fibers Resource room.
Featured from the Resource Room: La Casa Loca
La Casa Loca by Kathy Cano- Murillo
Being a "hip chica" during the 80's made Cano embarrassed of her Mexican heritage and spent a lot of her childhood in denial. But, one day she went on a date with a very interestingly dressed man whom ignited her fire for Mexican American culture and changed her life. This book is a compilation of crafts that Cano and her husband have created.

La Casa Loca is available in the 3 D techniques section of the Fibers Resource room.
Featured from the Resource Room: Women's Work: Textile Art from the Bauhaus
Women's Work: Textile Art from the Bauhaus by Sigrid Wortmann Weltge
Although the Bauhaus helped define modern design in the twentieth century, little emphasis is put on the Weaving Workshop, the most successful and longest lasting workshops of all Bauhaus projects. When the first talented women arrived at the Bauhaus, they were displaced to textile work regardless of artistic background because of Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius' sexist view of "women's work."
Gunta Stölzl, split tapestry made in 1926
Despite this classification, the women of the Weaving Workshop produced textiles so impressive and complex that the influence on modern day handweaving and textile production can still be traced to modern day textiles. sigrid Wortmann Weltge's comprehensive book on "Women's Work" in the Bauhaus includes rare and inspiring photos and insight into this neglected accomplishment.
Summer Internship Spotlights: Susie Ashkenas
I interned at Carrie Parry in Brooklyn for the first half of the summer, and at Rodarte in Los Angeles for the second half.
At Carrie Parry I did woven design development, sketching, collection editing, fabric and color stories, fabric sourcing, technical flats, social media platform analysis and research, competitive analysis, tech-packs, inventory, attended fabric trade show and met with suppliers.
The experience was wonderful. I had so much fun living in New York and working at Carrie Parry. There the work environment was super intimate -- her studio was located within her apartment in Williamsburg, and there were two other part time interns, but most of the time it was one-on-one with me and Carrie. She was incredible about really allowing me to pursue what interested me most, and learn aspects of the industry I was most interested in. She had me actually designing for her, which was amazing, and let me see each step of her process. She was really just a fabulous teacher.
At Rodarte I did inventory management, production, order shipments, hand sewing, and expense sheets for the ss14 collection.
Rodarte was a very interesting experience as well, but very different. LA is a totally different beast from NY, but beautiful and fun in its own right. Rodarte is obviously a much larger scale name brand, but surprisingly has a very small staff (only 4 full time employees including Kate and Laura, the head designers!). There was quite a large crew of interns there, about 10-13 at a given time, 5-8 in a day. We did pretty much anything and everything that was needed. Unfortunately that often involved inventory checking, counting, alphabetizing, and quality control. However, toward the end of the internship there were fewer interns and as fashion week neared I was able to do more hands-on stuff for the newer collection. I was given the task of doing cost sheets for the SS14 collection which was a big responsibility and really interesting, so that was definitely a highlight.
I didn't do them simultaneously, I was luckily able to split up my summer and be bi-coastal. This was great because I was able to work full time for and really invest myself fully into each, while still being given the ability to compare them and see what aspect I liked or disliked about each different company structure, and city.
At Carrie Parry, she really appreciated my background in fibers and fashion. She was very much sustainability minded which was great to learn about more deeply. My knowledge and background in fibers, and experience with different fiber characteristics, lifecycle and processing cycle was a major contribution to my internship at Carrie Parry. Also I think just the general work ethic and curiosity that my time at SCAD has nurtured helped me get the most out of my internships, and being interested and enthusiastic about each project.
The main things I took away from my internships were just knowledge about how in industry works and more real-world constrictions on projects, deadlines, and costing issues that we never have to think about for school projects. It is really interesting to think about those factors this year when I am starting my senior collection work for Fashion. Also, interning at Carrie Parry really opened my eyes to the extensive amount of flaws and failures within the apparel production industry in terms of environmental and social sustainability, and the lack of accountability within the industry. These issues are certainly things I hope to learn more about. I hope to incorporate my awareness of these issues into my work and my process.
Let's Celebrate with Katherine Glusica (M.F.A., fibers, 2011)

Featured from the Resource Room: Fashioning Felt, Cooper- Hewitt National Design Museum
Martens uncovers the ancestral history of Central Asian felting, describing how it was made and used in the time, and how contemporary artist use it now for avant-garde garments and projects. She compares the works from Mongolian nomadic dwellings, to the highly textural and awe inspiring wall coverings by Jo Coenen.
The imagery was taken mostly from an exhibit called Fashioning Felt, curated by Susan Brown in the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum.

Featured from the Resource Room: Extreme Beauty by Harold Koda
Body manipulation through material is the subject of discussion that Koda presents in this book. He compares different concepts of beauty, from the neck coils used in Burma to Madonna’s performance pointy breast bra. The book is separated into different sections of the body, the neck, the shoulders, the chest, the waist, the hips, and the feet, describing the transformations and ways of dress for that specific section in great detail.

Koda is curator of The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, not only did he put this book together, but also curated an exhibition in the museum.
Extreme Beauty is available in the Artist Exhibition/ Museum section of the Fibers Resource room.
Featured from the Resource Room: Alexander McQueen, Savage Beauty
Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty Written by Andrew Bolton with contributions by Susannah Frankel and Tim Blanks
Filled with a dark whimsy, Alexander McQueen is perhaps one of the most known fashion designers with a talent for manupulating fabric in beautifully dark and unexpected ways. Curator Andrew Bolton give us hundreds of stunning examples of some of McQueen's best work throughout the nineties until his death in 2010. McQueen's images of mysticism, chivalry, brutality and romance challenges us to embrace new ways of seeing and experiencing emotion.
Savage Beauty is available in the References section of the Fibers Resource room.
