\"jack<\/a>Jack Burns enters Starbucks carrying a huge bolt of pricey merino wool felt.\u00a0 I later learn it will be laser cut for his senior thesis with little to no waste.\u00a0 His hands are stained from fabric dyeing in his textile class.\u00a0 At \u00a0first glance, his clear dedication already justifies his nomination for the recognition of Parsons Student of the Month.\u00a0 Yet, this honor isn\u2019t Jack\u2019s first.\u00a0 In 2004, Jack won the Santa Fe Design Week Scholarship, setting him on his path to Parsons.\u00a0 This past March, he was the costumer on the winning team of Reconstruction 3.0, which brought together designers from Parsons, musicians from the New School Jazz Department, and dancers from the Joffrey Ballet to honor Louis Vuitton\u2019s travel traditions.\u00a0 Most recently, Jack was nominated for the Windgate Fellowship, dedicated to celebrating innovation in craft by supporting non-institutional education.\u00a0 Should he win, he will travel to Iceland, Morocco and India to study the processing of wool, tapestry weaving, and surface treatments, respectively.<\/p>\n

Despite his individual accolades, Jack values the collaborative experience he\u2019s grown to appreciate at Parsons.\u00a0 \u201cEverybody thinks differently, and if you have these multiple minds working on something, collaboration breeds one of the truest senses of originality.\u201d \u00a0Approaching design from the goal of zero waste consistently informs his fashion philosophy, from textile design to his application for the Windgate Fellowship.\u00a0 Jack believes that \u201cdesign should be entered from a more holistic perspective.\u201d What are we creating for our world beyond the clothing?\u00a0 He proposes that \u201cused\u201d garments be returned to the manufacturer for recycling, the way computers are broken down for their parts when they become outdated.\u00a0 Jack is now focused on the creation of textiles, where his background in metalwork and glass blowing add to his aesthetic.\u00a0 He sees the need to \u201ctake a craft and augment it and make it current.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 For him, \u201ctextiles are where it begins.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jack would encourage us not to think of fashion superficially, or solely as a means of self-expression.\u00a0 He is asking himself and others, \u201cHow do you create something?\u00a0 What does it say to the world?\u00a0 And, what are you contributing?\u201d \u00a0He perfectly exemplifies the type of student Parsons is known worldwide for developing.\u00a0 He makes me proud to be a student at Parsons.\u00a0 Jack Burns is not only Student of the Month; he\u2019s a name to remember.<\/p>\n
