On Friday, October 2, 2015, Dr. Oz welcomed 55 lucky students to a studio taping. The segments of the day addressed issues such as the drawbacks and benefits of ractopamine found in pork products and epsom salt on the human body. Everyone in the studio audience received a bag of eucalyptus scented epsom salt to experience it's tranquil effects at home. Dr. Oz also visited trending topics such as the posting and sharing pictures of nursing mothers on social media. In addition, he also shared a heart warming story of how a nurse helped to save the life of a mother and daughter while in labor. Students also met with the set designer/wardrobe specialist to get insider information on set design. Dr. Oz is a long standing friend of HSFI and has made an impact through Health Corps.
PHOTOVILLE
During mid September Sarah Ventura presented her work on a youth panel in Photoville. Photoville is basically an event where photographers from all over can present there work in downtown Brooklyn. Sarah Ventura presented her work on stage to kids of all ages. Her work was about a trip she took to the Dominican Republic in the Spring of this year. Sarah hasn't been to the Dominican Republic in more than a decade and everything seemed new to her to that's what she captured. She took photographs of her family, they're lifestyle and food. She was one of four people that was on the youth panel, she was very nervous but excited and she'd definitely do it again.
Dr. Oz welcomes The High School of Fashion Industries!
Students take an OZ HEALTHIE!
Thanks
to a joint effort coordinated by KCD, CFDA, and the Advisory Board, sixty-five
students were awarded access to one of the most coveted tickets of the season; Givenchy’s
premiere Fashion Week Runway Show. The High School of Fashion Industries seniors
were mesmerized by this year’s hottest fashions as they graced the runway at
Hudson River Park, Pier 26, on September 11, 2015. Students described the show
as a once in lifetime opportunity that was both “inspiring and breathtaking.”
Macy's 2015
An
invitation was extended to The High School of Fashion Industries to attend
Macy's presents Fashion's Front Row on Thursday, September 17, 2015 @
7:15pm. Forty Five lucky students were granted an amazing opportunity to
attend the Macy’s fashion week debut which featured big name designers such as
Tommy Hilfiger, Sean John, Hello Kitty, Heidi Klum and Jessica Simpson, just to
a name a few. Students also enjoyed guest performances from superstars Jason
Derulo and Nate Ruess. A special thanks to CFDA and the Advisory Board for
making this wonderful opportunity accessible to the students of HSFI.
Free portfolio review for Seniors is THIS Saturday from 8:30 until 4:00 pm. If students are taking the S.A.T's they can come directly after. Students should bring as much work as they can carry; Sketchbooks, paintings, sculptures, drawings on newsprint, fabric, cake design, clothing...
by portfolio we mean a collection of recent work (no more than 2 years old) The work does NOT have to fit into a case or plastic sleeves. When I applied for this class in the 90's I brought my work in a shopping cart (it included paintings on found objects, jeans,sneakers, denim jackets and homemade sketchbooks) If students did not get an application in, they can fill one out on Saturday when they arrive. If the student can't get there until 4pm, we will still see them. If students have already been accepted to a different class in our program, But want to try out for portfolio, they should come.
I have attached our portfolio prep flyer with more info.
The review will be held at the Cooper Union New Academic Building 41 Cooper square (3rd ave bet 6th and 7th street)
Warm Welcome for HSFI @ Mets Baseball Game
Givenchy Opens it's Doors to HSFI students for Runway Show during Fashion Week!!!!!
Get ready for Givenchy’s public offering. When Riccardo Tisci shows his Givenchy collection in New York on Sept. 11, members of the general public will make up a huge portion of his audience. Twelve hundred “real people” — mostly non-industry, non-celebrity civilians (no proof of Givenchy purchase required) as well as a cadre of students and faculty from local fashion schools — will attend, along with the usual show-going industry suspects. A block of 280 tickets has been set aside for students and faculty from FIT, Parsons, Pratt Institute and the High School for Fashion Industries. In addition, another 100 tickets will be distributed to residents living in proximity to the still-under-wraps show venue, with details made public closer to the show.
The future of Fashion and Technology are intertwined!
Today, as New York’s Fashion Week kicks off, fashion and technology are coming together in a new way. Made with Code and ZAC Zac Posen are teaming up to show how computer science can push the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of fashion. A dress designed by Zac Posen and with designs coded online by teen girls will debut as the finale look of Zac’s show—and hopefully inspire young girls who have an interest in fashion to see what code can help them create.

On Tuesday, October 6, from 1-2 pm, poet and playwright Claudia Rankine will give a talk titled “The Creative Imagination and Race,” followed by a Q&A and a book signing.

Claudia Rankine is the author of the National Book Critics Circle and NAACP Vision Award-winning Citizen: An American Lyric, deemed “the most talked-about book of poetry of 2014” by Dean Rader of the Huffington Post. In Citizen Rankine intersperses autobiographical pieces about her own racially-charged interactions in daily life with considerations of the public lives of Serena Williams, Trayvon Martin, James Craig Anderson, and others.
Links to Rankine's poetry and prose, reviews, articles, and multimedia resources, are given below for your information. It is truly an honor for us to host this distinguished author and speaker, whose subject matter is crucial at this time in U.S. history, and I want to make the most of her time here.
