RISD in NYC
File under: Local fashionistas do good.
Gap enlisted 30 RISD students from various disciplines — printmaking, sculpting, and industrial, textile, and fashion design — to rethink the store's classic cardigans. The budding designers went all "Project Runway" on the sweaters, dying the material and adding tulle, beads, lace, and more, and the one-of-a-kind creations are now on sale for $68 each at the rotating concept venue adjacent to Gap's flagship store at 54th and 5th Ave in New York.

That's right — Rhode Island students are showing Manhattan what's up. Word.
