In Thesis, students will propose a “statement, theory, hypothesis or thesis” for discussion or proof. This design thesis proposal will allow for a full investigation into an exploratory research and practical journey, culminating in a body of work that shows innovative design and technical experimentation with fabric, process, and potential artifact solutions. Thesis Preparation and Thesis are the culmination of learning in the Parsons School of Fashion MFA. Research, experimentation, prototyping and fittings will be fully explored, and a proposal will be submitted leading directly from Thesis Preparation to Thesis Design Studio. Both courses are dedicated to the same project and led by the MFA leadership.
