*Satellites are parties at the Stanford d.school designed to help relay information, insight & opportunities from the universe of design through a spark of music & art.
Threads of Tomorrow
Friday, May 17th
6-9pm | Stanford d.school
Join us on Friday, May 17th from 6-9pm at the Stanford d.school for a launch party to explore how we might redress the fashion industry though design work.
Featuring a FashionX Funhouse, a live performance from In Town, a special announcement from the Stanford d.school and a joyfully rude interruption by the Robber Barons.
Oh. And did we mention there's an Open Bar and live DJ set by Max Ngnepieba to help kick off the party?
Why?
Because the fashion industry is the 4th largest sector in the world. The industry weaves through every single Stanford Design Program Domain: Climate & Environment, Living Matter, Oceans, Global Development and Poverty, Healthcare and Healthy Technology & Oceans.
It’s time to redress the fashion industry.
