Notes on the future: It took nearly 3 decades to witness my first Wonder of the World. From there, it only took 3 months to see my second.

Shortly after seeing The Great Wall of China, my life changed drastically. I started writing letters to open 10 years into the future. I’m excited to read what they say now.

Invitation for Self by @byginalewis

Stylin’ Out gave students the creative opportunity to interpret their learnings via moodboard - imagining fashion’s future by reimagining the strengths of our past. Using Carol Tulloch’s The Birth of Cool, alongside other readings and media, we unlock new ways of thinking about the purpose of style and the legacy of fashion images.
