Gathering Materials

We made alot of progress over this past week. Youn Ji and I built a donation box for the ITP Lounge. Students have already donated clothing. But the biggest contribution was through Giana's friend Justine Cooper and Jen Cooke. Before I get ahead of myself, I would like to mention alittle bit about Giana Gonzalez. Giana is an ITP alumni who worked on the thesis about Hacking Conture. She worked on cracking the design code of high fashion. Her documentation has been an incredible inspiration for our project.

Anyways, we'd like to thank Giana, Justine, and Jen for their help and donated materials for this project. I thought gathering fabric/clothing would be the most difficult hurdle. We are very lucky.

We would also like to thank some ITPers who also donated clothing: Kenny Kim, Liz Gallo, Nancy Garcia, Angela Pablo and whoever else donated. Thanks.
