Creative Mornings at Parsons Festival: David Kelley David Kelley’s company IDEO has helped create many icons of the digital generation, but what matters even more to him is unlocking the creative potential of people and organizations to innovate routinely. He speaks at Parsons in coordination with Creative Mornings, the breakfast lecture series for the creative community. Begun in New York in 2008, it now has branches in 71 cities on six continents. 5/16, 8:30am–10am Diane Von Furstenberg: It’s a Wrap! 40 Years of the Wrap Dress In 1974, Diane Von Furstenberg introduced a modern design classic into the American consciousness: the wrap dress. The garment defined the 1970s, and outfitted a generation of women seeking (and achieving) professional, personal and sexual independence. For its 40th anniverasary, Parsons presents a conversation between Ms. Von Furstenberg and Professor Hazel Clark of Parsons, who will discuss the ways in which American fashion design has changed since 1974, as well as the past and future of this singular look. 5/12, 6pm–7pm
