STEM in Fashion | Family and Consumer Sciences Department Field Trip to Carnegie Museum of Art
O
n March 3, 2017, 45 Norwin High School
students from the Fashion Strategies and
Design classes studied the North American
Special Exhibition, Iris van Herpen: Transforming
Fashion at the Carnegie Museum of Art in
Pittsburgh.
The Fashion Strategies students are part the
Norwin School District Family and Consumer
Sciences program where they focus on process
thinking and problem solving via real life
consumer scenarios.
The exhibit features the innovative designs
of Iris van Herpen, a 32 year-old Dutch Haute
Couture designer. Her designs combine
meticulous handwork, inventive technological
solutions, and striking futuristic material to create
her unique aesthetic. Celebrities such as Beyoncé,
Bjork, Lady Gaga and Scarlett Johansson have
sought her extraordinary designs.
Through personalized tours guided by a
Carnegie museum docent, students observed
and analyzed Van Herpen’s work to develop an
42 Norwin
understanding of her fusion of fashion, technology and science. Following
this experience the Fashion Strategies students returned to class to
use Ms. Van Herpen’s work along with other works of art viewed at the
museum as an inspiration from which to create their own collection of
designs as part of a Mood Board.
