 SAIC Launches One of Few Graduate Fashion ProgramsThe School of the Art Institute of Chicago is proud to announce the Master of Design in Fashion, Body and Garment, the newest addition to a suite of graduate-level design studies that include graphic design, architecture and designed objects.Building on the long-standing success of its robust undergraduate program in Fashion Design since 1934, the graduate-level program will closely examine and re-imagine the nature and potential of fashion. The new Sage Studios for Fashion Design are situated within a vibrant contemporary school of art and design. The new twenty-five thousand square foot studio space houses dedicated 24-hour secure access to traditional and advanced technology fabrication facilities, one of the country's few hands-on collections of late twentieth and twenty-first century designer garments - the Fashion Resource Center - and an equally unique shoe, millinery and accessories laboratory. The renovations of the studios in the historic Louis Sullivan Center at 36 S. Wabash were made possible by a generous gift from Melissa Sage Fadim, Board Member and SAIC parent who has been supporting the fashion department for 20 years. She established the Sage Foundation Scholarship in 1988, which provides a full-tuition merit scholarship for a senior undergraduate student each year. The master's degree will examine the connections and relationships between art, design, culture and commerce that have been evolving for a century, and which have reached an unprecedented level in contemporary practices today. more SAIC Launches One of Few Graduate Fashion Programs design directory SAIC : School of the Art Institute of Chicago > Art Education added by Levent OZLER |

The Fermenting Cellar and the Distillery District will host various (FAT) runway shows, live performances and installations featuring talented upstarts and established artisans redefining style and influence. Toronto Alternative Arts & Fashion Week is a multi-arts festival with a mandate of showcasing artistic disciplines rooted in fashion, and their exploration of the human body in today's time. The festival aims to emphasize this mandate through the artistic disciplines of fashion design, photography, installation, video, performance, music and dance, in an effort to push forward and redefine our perception of the fashion phenomenon. When presented jointly, the underestimated social force of fashion is showcased, redefining its role in contemporary Canadian society as not only an economic colossus, but also as an engineer of social practices and vehicle for personal expression. The Toronto Alternative Arts & Fashion Week intends to introduce a broader audience to these related creative fields, building public interest while simultaneously creating a forum where artists can learn from and collaborated with each other. more alterna...
