The Cornell Fashion & Design Expo, held on April 25, featured student projects under the theme 'Challenging Convention in 2025'. Celebrating the centennial of Cornell Human Ecology, 17 selected projects ranged from eco-conscious designs to fashion addressing women's reproductive rights. Dean Rachel Dunifon highlighted their potential impact on the future of design, illustrating the intersection of various disciplines like sustainability and psychology. The Expo emphasized human connection as students engaged with alumni and professionals, sharing their creative processes and ideas with the wider community.
Self-watering planters that improve air quality and alert users to risk. Fashion that transforms gendered words into powerful symbols of passion.
These student projects exemplify the future of design and how it will evolve over the next 100 years, reflecting CHE's interdisciplinary nature.
The projects span interior design, product design, fashion design and fiber science, representing all CHE design majors.
A hallmark of the Expo is human connection, as students engage directly with alumni, industry professionals and Cornell community members to share their design thinking.
