Some Photos from Eyebeam Workshop

Here are a few images from our workshop at Eyebeam a few weeks ago. Special Thanks again to Giana Gonzalez, Hacking Couture, and Eyebeam for hosting us!

Hacking Couture

What is it like for another designer to follow the Hacking Couture structure? Come and design with us.
Led by Brooklyn based designer Charlotte Gaspard, Creative Director of C.Spot Designs.
Hacking Couture is a platform for launching new fashion creations through an open source approach of reverse engineering fashion brands and making the code available online. Hands on workshops encourage participants to create using the codes regardless of their level of fashion knowledge, and to engage in the larger fashion conversation. By understanding the coding of established fashion, this project provides a platform to empower participants to step up and create.

Please join Hacking Couture and C. Spot Designs on Tuesday, July 20th from 7pm to 9pm at Eyebeam for a free workshop exploring recycling in fashion.

Please feel free to bring any clothing or fabric you wish to use in your recycled fashion project!
