Christen,
I've been invited to give feedback to all Parsons students, regarding your thesis projects.
Let me start by saying, "fabulous topic!" You've managed to carefully weave together (pun intended) a lot of complex factors into a seamless whole. In this way, I believe you really understand the true meaning of sustainability.
Your problem statement is clear. And your proposed solution is impressive, even down to considering how to maximize the use of fabric, minimize toxicity, respond to market demand and inject life back into a local economy. It's beautifully put here: "a cross-culture dialogue in fabric." Love it.
Let's hope this really happens. Best of luck! J.
