Kay Politowicz with the MA Textiles during the final students workshop
Kate Goldsworthy and the principal investigators of TED's 'Design to Explore Clean/Better Technologies'
Between October 2011 and April 2012, TED has been organising weekly Research Focus Groups around the TED’s TEN sustainable design strategies with the MA Textiles at Chelsea, led by Prof. Kay Politowicz.
For each strategy, a guest speaker was invited and the students were also assigned one strategy that they had to research and present back to the group. From new technologies to zero waste and up cycling, the students were also asked to reflect on how the seminars and new information has been integrated into their studio work.
TED has given them a blog space to share their most important findings and upload images of their work in the run up to their final show in September. Watch this space for further findings from the students.
This project is part of MISTRA Future Fashion and TED’s Textile Toolbox, to be launched soon.
