Chairing Styles 2009
This year’s Chairing Styles pays tribute to Barbie's® five decades as a fashion icon. The fabric, fashion, and furniture collaboration explores the relationship between three design disciplines: textile, fashion, and interior design. Selected students from these three majors at FIDM have created these original designs in Barbie's® favorite colors of pink, black, and white.

This year’s Chairing Styles student exhibition celebrates its third year in partnership with the Cotton Board/Cotton Incorporated. They have generously created a scholarship for student participants in this challenging study program in textile, fashion, and furniture design. The collaborative process fosters new relationships between education and industry.
Thirty-three students worked in teams of three (a Textile Design student, a Fashion Design student, and an Interior Design student) to create this dramatic presentation of 11 different textiles, garments, and chairs. Chairing Styles is in its ninth year and the black and white collection has been on display at the Pacific Design Center, Avenues of Art & Design, and FIDM campuses in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego. Past collections have been displayed at other Southern California locations including the Long Beach Museum of Art, Bloomingdale’s Home Store in Newport Beach, and Neo Con Xpress in Los Angeles.
