2016-17 Mentors
Working with professional designers, students learn all aspects of the design process; testing new ideas, methods, materials and equipment. This year, renowned costume designer Albert Wolsky, couture designer Chris Chang, and industry leaders in each category will mentor students through the design process of one-of-a-kind garments. David Meister, Zaid Affas, Claire Pettibone, Red Carter, as well as designers from Illia, Michi, and Jessica Simpson all have mentor projects that will hit the runway this May.
