The 7th episode was recorded on a trip to Herning, the textile hub in central Jutland, in Denmark. Together with some of my students from my Fashion Theory and Fashion History courses at SDU, we got a special tour of the Textile Museum in Herning. That same day, we also got to see the Via Design School with state-of-the-art textile, fashion, graphic, and furniture design labs, talk to some of the teachers and students there, and watch some of their design pieces come into being. We then made a stop-over at the Sewing Lab (Sylab) in the nearby town of Ikast, one of the few remaining sewing facilities still operating in Denmark, and producing custom orders for big and small Danish and international brands, working on new prototypes, renting out work-space and equipment to start-up designers, and collaborating with the local textile suppliers in the area.
