Last Thursday, the lecture during lunch was about fashion. It is my favorite lecture so far. The first woman who presented worked for Phillip Lim. I was extremely excited when her presentation was actually about the geode collection which I obsessed over. When I first saw the printed ad of the collection in a magazine, I fell in love with it at first sight. Her presentation showed me how important having a key concept was and how even good ideas have to be thrown out sometimes in order to make a collection even stronger.

I was very surprised to see the second speaker, Tai. When I had come to Parsons two years ago for a summer program (not SIS), he was the TA! Tai is truly an inspiration and it's incredible to see how far he has gotten within two years.
