| Work Detail | In typical Li Edelkoort fashion, Tuesday morning’s launch for New York Textile Month at Saks Fifth Avenue’s flagship was an immersive experience. After discussing highlights of this citywide initiative, Edelkoort recapped her fall trend forecast, reminded attendees to pick up the extensive NYTM catalogue and then led everyone to the newly remodeled fourth floor to highlight innovative designer items. Edelkoort, The New School’s Parsons School of Design Dean of Hybrid Design Studies, is also a proven trend forecaster through her own company Trend Union. Saks vice president and fashion director Eric Jennings said afterwards, “Going from the forecast to the textiles to the fashion shows to the retail — it’s just such a fascinating exercise to see how this whole exercise works.” As of now, 77 events are scheduled to be held in an assortment of major museums, galleries and institutions to celebrate textile creativity and textile awareness. With the help of Willem Schenk, Edelkoort helped to orchestrate the inaugural event in a matter of months. Attendees were among the first to see the 208-page NYTM “Talking Textiles” magazine, with articles about Threeasfour’s experimental designs, the reMUJI project and CABan by Tomorrowland and Mii. |
