So many design events, so little time. Here are four that we’re particularly excited about:
Fashion, new media, and entrepreneurship come together at the AFINGO Fashion Forum, an all-day confab that takes place this Friday, April 1, at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Things kick off with a panel on fashion innovation featuring founders of creative retail ventures such as Warby Parker, Groupon, and Moda Operandi, the brilliant buy-straight-from-the-runway concept launched last month by cofounders Aslaug Magnusdottir and Lauren Santo Domingo. Later, attendees will hear from fashion designer Cynthia Rowley, who is also among the backers of the contemporary art flash sale site, Exhibition A.What comes after postmodern architecture? Rafael Viñoly has a few ideas. Join the architect and Julie Iovine, executive editor of The Architect’s Newspaper, on Tuesday, April 5, as they discuss the present and future of architecture in New York at the Museum of the City of New York.
