@Giles who designed the competition from IH side? It's really well put together.

[sabergirl]

This so cool! I hope you’ll invite the students participating to the forum to share their submissions.

[Giles]

We are thinking we will create a thread on the forum so they can interact with you guys. Hoping it happens, and it works….

The specifics were driven by LCF, with input/shaping by Alex

[nurunuru]

Ooh; I see it's open to LCF alumni, too.

What's another little white lie on the ol' CV, ay?

Assuming the students were not familiar with the brand before, what was their initial reaction when experiencing the products in person?

[Giles]

Really amazing and tear-jerking....

I think that until today, they thought denim was denim. They don't now.....

We were presenting to the MA students, really the creme de la creme at one of the best , if not the best fashion college in the world. First time a brand has done anything like this.

The lead faculty member said to us afterwards, that even the students who do not enter the competition will be shaped by what they heard/learned today. These guys will be some of the most important brands owners/designers of the next generation. I welled up.......

well done

[Bridger]

@Giles

That's fucking awesome @Giles. Well done @Alex and the team, and so great that Haraki-San and the Japan crew support the idea.

Such a fantastic initiative to keep the Iron Heart beating with future generations.

[Chibs]

Really cool!!

@Giles I have no idea what sort of curriculum a fashion school has. Apparently, their exposure to denim is limited. What would typical course work on materials, fabrics, different types of fashion, I.e. streetwear, haute couture, etc look like? Was this a topic of discussion today?
