House 17: Coney Island / Conyne Eylandt Dutch fashion collective Painted (Saskia van Drimmelen, Margreet Sweerts, Desiree Hammen) in collaboration with Pascale Gatzen and IDC fashion students of Parsons The New School for Design in New York, Native American bead masters Joyce, Juanita and Jessica Growing Thunder, and local lace makers.	About Painted Painted, led by Saskia van Drimmelen, Margreet Sweerts and Desirée Hammen, shows off schedule collections created by themselves and invited designers in league with Bulgarian artisans, all working on each garment sequentially. With a conviction that newness doesn't necessarily equal advancement, the collective embraces the handmade as opposed to the mass produced, creating personalized slow garments growing out of many hands in fellowship. Painted Series marries nearly forgotten techniques with sharply stylized couture in unique pieces, inventively preserving bygone skills and practices. Painted will apply this philosophy to the "doilies" to fit the "personality" of the house. www.paintedseries.com www.vandrimmelen.com Blog: painted-parsons-treasure-island.blogspot.com		About IDC Fashion, Parsons The New School for Design IDC Fashion is a concentration in Parsons' Integrated Design Curriculum that utilizes a holistic approach in educating students within the context of garments, identity, media and fashion. IDC is more of an underlying philosophy than a program. We ground ourselves in the understanding that a heightened consciousness towards what we wear, what we create and what we consume will make us wear more ambitiously, consume more conscientiously and create more ecstatically. IDC is constantly evolving and refining itself, perpetually challenging students to explore and understand their place in the world-and as a result, expand their own potential and break habitual patterns. www.nativefunkandflash.com www.parsons.edu Pascale Gatzen (fashion designer and coordinator of IDC Fashion) www.pascalegatzen.com Nightwood (interior furniture designers) www.nightwoodny.com
