If you’ve been looking for a way to satisfy your fashion thirst outside of mainstream media, you’ll be excited to find about about the Science & The City event series at the New York Academy of Science. The latest Hacking Couture event is happening tonight, Wednesday July 14, from 7 to 9 pm. It will dissect the topic of sustainable fashion.
Hacking Couture is a platform for launching new fashion creations through an open source approach of reverse engineering fashion brands and making the code available online.
Hands on workshops encourage participants to create using the codes regardless of their level of fashion knowledge, and to engage in the larger fashion conversation. By understanding the coding of established fashion, this project provides a platform to empower participants to step up and create.
In this workshop, led by Giana Gonzalez of Hacking Couture, participants will be tinkering with the Chanel Camelias and experimenting with how to evolve them. Participants are welcome to bring their own material.
We’re not exactly sure what’s going on there, but a lil activism can’t hurt anyone, right?
P.S. next workshop in Abu Dhabi. 😉 JK.
