Fashionable

Never a dull moment at The New School! On Friday I'll be starting up the second mini-course on "What is College For?" with my friend J in the morning, then running to this event, the brainchild of a colleague in the fashion program at Parsons. While it's designed to be open-ended, it's clear that it will be quite different from the "Religion-Fashion Seminar" my friend O and I led in (can it be that long ago?) 2012, whose iconoclastic vibe was articulated in the zine we produced. Where we were fashion studies and religious studies people, this event will focus on fashion designers of faith and religious specialists interested in fashion - insiders to our relative outsiders, believers to our skeptics. I'm sure we'll all learn a lot!
