Sweat Equity Class Final Designs

Congratulations to our Sweat Equity Design Class

They worked this semester to understand the process of design. They sketched their ideas and a few professionals helped them to complete their final concept through computer rendering!

Great job!

Fairytale Fashion with Diana Eng

http://www.fairytalefashion.org


Fashion Designer, Diana Eng (Project Runway), who combines science and technology in her work is partnering with the Treasure Academy to explore Fairytale Fashion concepts. Several of our participants will attend weekly sessions learning where science and fashion meet. They will provide Diana with their ideas and feedback (some ideas might be used her in fashion show!). All of this will culminate into a big fashion show held at Eyebeam in Manhattan. Our gals will sit front and center along with fashion designers and even a few Nobel laureates from the science field!!!

Many thanks to Diana for giving us the opportunity to participate! Have fun Treasure Academy!
