It wasn't a fashion design school - it was the clothing section of the
Ministry of Defence. I now have a student from the London College of
Fashion (just started) but we are back-tracking to have a look at some
more botanical systems. Sorry . . .
I am also developing a relationship with the Rhode Island School of
Design, and currently have an intern from there. My contact is Lorna
Ross, who has worked for DARPA and Motorola, amongst others. She is
currently a Professor there working mainly with post-graduate students.
