Meet Crystal Han (she/her), a senior in Textiles. What question are you investigating in your thesis work? What will roam and grow on the Earth thousands of years in the future, as plants and animals continue to evolve alongside human development? Invasive species, like Japanese knotweed, expand and stretch into bulbous forms. Sea creatures develop plastic skin and lurid stripes to camouflage in oceans of textile waste. Woolly beasts become overgrown, covering their beautiful patterns underneath. These beings live not in our current world, but in the space where inquiry meets intuition, and emotional responses allow us to approach other living beings with a perspective where artists, activists, and scientists naturally converge. What are your plans after graduation? I will be working as a knitwear apprentice at Coach, while continuing to find and draw as many creatures as possible.

Per tradition, every year our current juniors get to embark on a trip to New York City to see and meet textile alumni who are making shifts in the field everyday. From interiors to tech, this year our juniors and 1st year grads were shuttled around Manhattan meeting 3 different companies in one day. First rounds were made at @pollacktextiles textiles, an interior textile company founded by RISD textile Alumn Mark Pollack. We were graciously welcomed by design director Rachel Doris (Tx ’99) and her incredible team who provided us a great introduction on the processes of designing textiles for the interior market and the balance of aesthetic, technical, and financial elements that take place with every collection. We then marched our way through SoHo where we ended up at leading fashion brand @proenzaschouler . There we were greeted by art director Amber Day (Tx ’14) who gave an incredible tour of design offices and fitting rooms. We got to spend time relishing over fabric structures and industrial techniques before Amber would go on to explain her trajectory into fashion from textiles and what it’s like working, creating, and designing for the fast paced industry of fashion. Afterwards, the cohort hopped in a cab and headed uptown, where we visited the incredible labs of @oxmanofficial studio. Working at the intersection of design, technology, and biology, Oxman’s mission is rethinking our future through the synergy of nature and humanity. We got to experience their beautiful Hell’s Kitchen high rise office fitted with development studios and wet labs. There we met with head of textile craftsmanship and engineering, Jessy Lu (Tx ’15). She shared with us her current project of working with biologists and roboticists to research and construct footwear through knitting and non-planar 3D printing from multi-filament bioplastics extruded in-house.
