ah, Exam time, what a great time of the year (I dont actually know if it is exam time as I have no desire to coincide with study times, ever -even when I was studying). Anyway, exam/study time is always a time when we're striving to get outside of that narrow-minded design box and unleash creativity but it also seems to be about the same time when we're lacking any creative ideas.
I stumbled across Diana Eng's page a while back and thought 'How clever!', so I thought I would pass it onto you guys to also have the 'How clever!' mutterings to yourselves.
Diana Eng is a self confessed Fashion Nerd. But not just one who dresses in preppy clothes and wears glasses. She is a science nerd, and a fashionable one at that. With a resume that includes working as an assistant designer in devopement and research at Victoria's Secret and a contestant on Project Runway (US Season 2), she's also achieved heaps of other career milestones; At 22, her inflatable dress (cocreated with Emily Albinski) made the cover of ID Magazine. She won Yahoo Hack Day in 2006 along with her two-team mates for designing and creating a blogging purse in less than 24 hours.
Yes, she also has a book " Fashion Geek".
So with all of this behind her, she created The Fairytale Show.
The Fairytale Fashion Collection was presented on February 24, 2010, at Eyebeam Atelier in Chelsea, New York City. Models hit the runway while a quartet of circuit bending DJ’s created music from a hacked sewing machine and conductive felt. Seated front row were celebrity scientists, designers, and school children.
