Design is a word, a concept, and a process. It is an environment unique unto itself - where endless possibilities exist within a universe defined by 6 small letters, d.e.s.i.g.n. But design does not evolve within a vacuum. A community of people and organizations are charged with incubating the creative and the pragmatic - and making sure these attributes converge at the right moment and under the best circumstances. The role of a design school is to insure students can envision their eventual contributions to society. The most important guarantee the academe can offer in this regard is by illustrating to the aspiring designer how stories, personal or collective, can be curated into useful and beautiful objects, spaces, and forms. Last August 7, SoFA Design Institute graduating 2 year and 4 year fashion students showcased their creations in the Bench building in BGC. As the spotlights illuminate the models gliding along the runway the audience will instantly be made aware that something different is going on. Each collection is unique. Risk-taking has been embraced. Success or failure is besides the point. Metamorphosis is in full swing. Want to watch the fashion show?
