Lenzing partners with the High School of Art and Design in NY
Lenzing is partnering with the High School of Art and Design (HSAD) for their 2015-2016 school project, Sustainable Product Development in the Fashion Industry. For the project, the students learn about sustainable materials and processes in fashion and create a sustainable fashion line for the Spring 2016 show. The project is sponsored by CFDA, Lenzing Fibers, Brooklyn Fashion + Design Accelerator, Limitless La Vie, and Underfashion Club. Over 125 students are involved across the 10th-12th grades (15-18 year olds). This project helps support the next generation of designers and highlights the possibilities in eco-fashion. All the textiles were generously donated by USA mill partners SG Knits, Texollini, Britannia Mills Ltd., Zen Tex, and Sextet Fabrics.
