The exhibition is the result of a collaboration and contest that was announced last year. The program brought more than 120 Parsons students and 23 local artisans together for the contest, in which student teams created original fashion ensembles and short documentary films inspired by the work of a local artisan and the world of LVMH. The students’ fashion creations and films were previewed in February 2010, during New York City’s Fashion Week. The winners of the contest are: Adam Scher, Alex Stachelek, Hyeyoung Kim, Jennifer Schubert and Akalaksna Kenneth Baenchantha who won first place for their work inspired by Calligrapher Bernard Maisner; Andres, Chi, Payal, Sherman and Sooji who won second place for their work inspired by Letterpress Printer Swayspace; and Iker Orozco, JYong Moon, Minsun Kim, Nicole Ferrada, Uros Otasevic and Yeochung Lydia Kim who won third place for their work inspired by Fine Wood Conservation Ltd. Come to the Island to see their creations when the Island opens on June 5. The exhibit is just one of the many incredible programs and activities that are planned for Governors Island this public access season.
