Projects
By the end of the Strong Suits class, each of the 14 students submitted a final creative project. In their own unique way, each of these projects explores at least one of the key conceptual themes of the course. Whether through writing or an artistic product, these projects display the myriad of ways in which the students' own thinking has been shaped by a sustained, critical investigation of Thom Browne and fashion design.
