New Fashion Research Institute Office Hours

Please join the Fashion Research Institute at its office hours in its Second Life region, Shengri La, today from 3-4 pm ET (12-1 pm PT), and every week after.

Our office hours are come-as-you-are, informal opportunities to meet and discuss topics of interest with our thought leaders in design education, apparel industry development, virtual goods, the use of virtual worlds for product design and development, and related topics. Thoughts on our mind this week are licensing, OpenSim performance, professional development for virtual goods designers, Gettysburg, creativity, and fashion design education. What’s on your mind?
