Fashion 400

Fashion Calendar 2024

“Rondel” 1892 | Louise Howland King Cox

With the proportion of classroom occupancies receding, those spaces that cannot be offloaded onto the internet remain — collaborative creative spaces among them.  There are nearly 4000 colleges and universities with garment industry programs; nearly 600 in the United States.  These institutions include specialized fashion schools, as well as larger universities and colleges that offer fashion programs or courses as part of broader art, design, or business degree programs.  

Today we examine the safety and sustainability of the research and collaborative occupancies that enable this industry to train the next generation.  It is a cross-cutting topic that draws from many catalogs.

The fashion and garment industry plays a significant role in shaping culture and society in many ways: Here are a few examples:

  • Self-expression and identity – Clothing and fashion can be used as a means of self-expression and a way to communicate one’s identity to the world. People use clothing to express their individuality, cultural heritage, and personal values.
  • Creativity and innovation – The fashion industry is a creative industry that thrives on innovation and new ideas. Designers and fashion brands push the boundaries of creativity and constantly come up with new styles and trends that can influence the broader culture.
  • Economic impact – The fashion and garment industry is a significant contributor to the global economy, providing jobs and supporting businesses in various parts of the supply chain. The industry also drives consumer spending and contributes to economic growth.
  • Sustainability and social responsibility – In recent years, the fashion industry has increasingly focused on sustainability and social responsibility, with many brands and organizations taking steps to reduce their environmental footprint and improve working conditions in the supply chain.
  • Cultural exchange and globalization – The fashion industry is a global industry that allows for cultural exchange and cross-cultural understanding. Fashion designers draw inspiration from different cultures and traditions, and fashion shows and events bring together people from all over the world to celebrate creativity and diversity.

RESOLUTION

Expressing support for the designation of September 2019 as Campus Fire Safety Month.

Whereas student-related housing fires in Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Washington, DC, Pennsylvania, and other schools across the country have tragically cut short the lives of some of the youth of the Nation;

Whereas, since January 2000, at least 175 people, including students, parents, and children have died in college-related fires;

Whereas approximately 87 percent of these deaths have occurred in off-campus occupancies;

Whereas a majority of the students across the Nation live in off-campus occupancies;

Whereas a number of fatal fires have occurred in buildings where the fire safety systems have been compromised or disabled by the occupants;

Whereas it is recognized that automatic fire alarm systems and smoke alarms provide the necessary early warning to occupants and the fire department of a fire so that appropriate action can be taken;

Whereas it is recognized that automatic fire sprinkler systems are a highly effective method of controlling or extinguishing a fire in its early stages, protecting the lives of the building’s occupants;

Whereas many students are living in off-campus occupancies, Greek housing, and residence halls that are not adequately protected with automatic fire sprinkler systems and automatic fire alarm systems or adequate smoke alarms;

Whereas it is recognized that fire safety education is an effective method of reducing the occurrence of fires and reducing the resulting loss of life and property damage;

Whereas students are not routinely receiving effective fire safety education throughout their entire college career;

Whereas it is vital to educate the future generation of the Nation about the importance of fire safety behavior so that these behaviors can help to ensure their safety during their college years and beyond; and

Whereas by developing a generation of fire-safe adults, future loss of life from fires can be significantly reduced: Now, therefore, be it
