It is a free intensive educational program that aims to inspire  and empower youth from various backgrounds, through fashion design.  Gathering for seven hours a day, five times a week, the initiative  functions out of a vibrant space in Saifi Urban Gardens.<\/p>\n<p>The project is run by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dreamsequins.com\/2009\/06\/future-perfect-parsons-thesis.html\">Sarah Hermez<\/a>, a graduate from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newschool.edu\/parsons\/bfa-fashion-design\/\">BFA Fashion Design<\/a> program at Parsons the New  School for Design, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newschool.edu\/parsons\/faculty_program.aspx?id=48472\">Caroline Shlala- Simonelli<\/a>, a part-time faculty member at  The School of Fashion at Parsons the New School for Design and Fashion Institute of Technology in  New York. Caroline has had a long and highly praised career in the fashion  business. During the summer, Sarah and Caroline taught a class of five students between the ages of  16-22, from different backgrounds, lifestyles and education who lack  fair opportunities and have an interest in fashion design.<\/p>\n<p>Their goal was to guide their students on the road to discovering the  roots of their creative ideals through fashion, creating an atmosphere  of teamwork and collaboration while promoting individuality. Throughout  the two months, the class worked together to create an haute-couture  collection, with each student responsible for designing and producing at  least two garments that contributed towards the final collection, that was  <a href=\"http:\/\/creativespacebeirut.com\/2011\/09\/27\/exhibition-one\/\">showcased in a selling exhibition in the beginning of August 2011<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The long-term vision for The Creative Space is to develop a  participatory, democratic educational system that also serves as a  brand, a system that generates income by producing and selling  collections in which profits are equally distributed\u00a0among designers,  giving them opportunities to work and sustain their lives.<\/p>\n<p>The Creative Space is a journey- not to make clothes, but to make designers.<\/p>\n<p>More images can be found on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/64439620@N05\/\">The Creative Space Flickr page<\/a>.<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Creative Space was launched on June 1, 2011 in Beirut, Lebanon.
