Item Insights from an Industry Advisory Board about Online Education for Practitioners(Iowa State University Digital Press, 2014) Sanders, Eulanda A.; Zhang, Pollyanna; McKinney, Ellen C.; Lee, Young-A; Bennett, SarahHigher education institutions are increasingly using media and Internet for teaching and learning. The 2011 Survey of Online Learning reported that the number of students taking at least one online class was 6.7 million (Allen & Seaman, 2013). Sixty-five percent of higher education organizations perceive online education as a necessary part of their long-term development strategy (Babson Survey Research Group). Moreover, online education not only applies to college students, but also expands to continuing education of industry employees. Increasing technical skill requirements in apparel companies cause employees to need continued training, to keep up with the ever-changing work environment.Item New Configurations in Fashion: Innovative Forms Meet Engineered Textile Printing(Iowa State University Digital Press, 2018) Sanders, Eulanda A.; McKinney, Ellen C.; Baytar, FatmaJune 15 – 21, 2017 the New Configurations in Fashion: Innovative Forms Meet Engineered Textile Printing workshop was held at Iowa State University. The project was funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the Donna R. Danielson Professorship in Textiles and Clothing at Iowa State University. The goal of the workshop was to establish a physical space and time where participants can: (a) create innovative textile and fashion designs, (b) develop textile designs that follow the form and structure of the garments, and (c) utilize patternmaking techniques such as subtraction cutting, zero waste, three dimensional, computerization, or 3D body scanning. The workshop was designed for junior faculty and graduate students who had a demonstrated record of artist excellence or the potential for excellence in the field of fashion and textile design.Item Pain from Fashion(Bloomsbury, 2020) McKinney, Ellen C.; Sanders, Eulanda A.Being “fashionable” has not always been good for one’s physical or psychological health. In the mid-nineteenth century, women wore long skirts that brushed along the ground. At a time before germ theory was discovered, this meant that families were sickened by germs that hitched a ride along the garments’ hems. Additionally, dyes made from unsafe methods sometimes caused rashes, nasal allergies, and even eye damage. At other times in history, women have subjected their bodies to constrictive corsets or unnatural heels that caused short- and long-term damage to their bodies. In our modern era, people are adopting variants to older trends (e.g. corsets have morphed into girdles and now into the “waist training” devices promoted by some celebrities), while there is a resurgence in the popularity of higher heels. While the goal may be to be beautiful and fashionable, the end result oft en is something else—physical and emotional pain. Th is chapter will examine the items women have worn (and continue to wear) that can cause pain and try to explain why those items are eagerly sought aft er and readily worn in the quest to be beautiful and fashionable.
