Last night, New Design students had the opportunity to attend Cooper Hewitt's Teen Design Fair. In attendance were a wide variety of professional fashion designers, graphic designers, industrial designers, and architects who answered the students' questions and gave them feedback on their portfolios.

The highlight of the evening was the keynote speech by Tim Gunn, Chief Creative Officer of Liz Claiborne and co-host of Bravo's Project Runway. He is pictured above speaking with New Design's Devin, Nora, Juanise, and Amy, giving them feedback on their work and design advice.
