Acting Associate Dean for the School of Art and Design Sass Brown and Illustration MFA Chair Melanie Reim participated in The Big Issue 3: What’s Next?, an apparel conference at Manchester Metropolitan University in Manchester, England. Brown discussed eco-fashion, and Reim spoke on “Accidental Fashion Illustrators, Contemporary Fashion/Lifestyle Illustration” and led a fashion illustration workshop. Instead of a head shot for the conference poster, Reim was asked to illustrate a self-portrait, featured at left. For more information, contact Melanie Reim, 74318.
