Every spring semester at FIT, students who take the course Advanced Knitwear Design: Creative Development and Execution, taught by Professor Lisa Donofrio, are asked to create a sweater and coordinating pants. Rather than working with new materials, students are challenged to make upcycled ensembles from existing knit garments. The students learn to engage with materials sustainably and responsibly, and the project also allows them to showcase their creativity.

This online exhibition of their work was created in conjunction with FIT’s 15th Annual Sustainable Business and Design Conference.

This virtual event is free and open to the public.
