#OTD in 1945, Zack Carr was born. A 1973 @parsonsdesign graduate, Zack went on to design for Donald Brooks and @CalvinKlein and launched his own line in 1984. This beautiful idea book donated by his brother shows his artistic sensibilities: https://t.co/mpO9wM3akm #FashionHistory

@TNSLibraries 3/4 of our staff have read or are reading 20th Century Boy: Notebooks of the Seventies by @parsonsdesign alum Duncan Hannah, recommended to us by @dwpenny to whom we are grateful! A wild ride through Parsons and NYC in the 1970s, featuring faculty we know from the Archives.

[New School Archives @TNSarchives]

@NSSRNews Also, many alums and longtime faculty and staff still refer to NSSR as "the GF," which admittedly as a great ring to it.

[New School Archives @TNSarchives]

@NSSRNews You got it! Very impressed!

[New School Archives @TNSarchives]

Happy #JazzAppreciationMonth! Did you know jazz appears in @TheNewSchool curriculum as early as 1927? Aaron Copland included jazz in his Evolution of Modern Music course, and Waldo Frank covered jazz in his Modern Art course. #MusicHistory 1927 catalog: https://t.co/g1hAXeOMzs

"Gender Studies" is not recognized as a discipline in the Library of Congress Subject Headings, so we used a different authority, in keeping with Ann's legacy. Photo credit: Amal Flower Kay, 2019

Celebrate #NationalCheeseLoversDay with a slice of history from our @ParsonsDesign student work collections. Adele Mowton DuBreuil (Class of 1920) created this poster during WWI, when the U.S. government promoted dairy as a protein substitute for meat.
