The Lee Westwood family gathered. It was big fun to have partner Helen Storey with 6 year old daughter visiting MoveQ three of the four days on Kids Green at Nordea Masters. The daughter was not only unstoppable, she gave it all and did many things well trained adults would love to be able to do. A role model for other kids. #moveq #family #leewestwood #helenstorey #golf #motorskillsdevelopment #cognitiveskillsdevelopment #samuelstam #leonardosnelleman #movementspecialists #nordeamasters2017 #lagarderesports

Helen Storey is an artist and designer from London. She is currently the professor of Fashion Science at University of the Arts. Storey worked with scientist Tony Ryan OBE from University of Sheffield to create a ‘Dissolving Dress’. At first I thought with their concern for the environment they were perhaps creating something we could use in the feature, like a dress which would not need to be thrown away but will dissolve into nothing. However, like my own idea for sic-art, they were using scientific research to design a showpiece and making their thoughts visible.
‘To watch a dress, that has taken months to create, disappear in a few days seemed to connect directly to that place of unfathomable loss. We hope this may work as a metaphor for our disappearing world’. - Tony Ryan and Helen Storey. This told me that the dress was not an inventive idea for the future but a ‘metaphor’ to perhaps make audiences realise we are all slowly killing the planet.
The dress is a knit of Polyvinyl alcohol. It its firstly made into clear stands before being knitted together. Once the material is placed in hot water it begins to slowly dissolve.

Data visualisation dress maps human displacement at London’s Science Museum
Data visualisation dress maps human displacement at London’s Science Museum
With every piece of data out there today, there is – more often than not – a human story behind it. That’s the idea behind Dress For Our Time, an installation unveiled at the Science Museum in London that delves into the global refugee crisis and the complex matter of human displacement in a bid to change the social narrative of the topic.
Created by award-winning artist and designer, Professor…

Sustainable Designers
Reiko Sudo is a designer who uses a mixture of traditional and contemporary methods, that have the idea of sustainability at the base of all her work. Sudo is constantly creating new blends of fibres and creating new ways to work with fabric, along with recycling any textile waste. She has a respect for all materials and believes that they are a precious resource for any textile designer stating that all designers should do there best to minimize waste or at least use it in some form or way. Sudo experiments with acids and enzymes to help develop environmentally friendly methods as she believes that knowing her products where made by not harming the environment is extremely important. This is why Sudo uses bio gradable materials, which will break down over time that will good for both the environment and health benefits, as many of Reiko Sudo's work have fibres that help with things such as oxidation and help filter out UV light as well as keeping moisture.
Helen Storey is another designer who looks at sustainable products. So much so that not only is her clothing that she designs is sustainable but also the packaging and the manufacturing is as well. She believes that the new generation should have a new generation of textiles, that textiles should adapt and welcome intelligent materials. Materials that will help the environment presently and for the future too. Storey looks at and experiments with the exchanges between energy and matter and from this her work will include fibres that have intelligent relationships that can sense when there no longer needed. Storey's designs aren't always made to wear but instead to provoke thought and discussion about the impact of what the fashion and textile industry are doing to the planet and to get the younger generations to understand that change needs to happen.
Emily Crane is a designer who understands todays culture extremely well and how it is increasingly becoming a throw away society. Playing on this notion Crane has pioneered a fresh new approach and style that has a fast turn around (an aspect that has become essential in recent years) and what is also sustainable. Working with food science, Crane started off in her kitchen testing out many everyday ingredients and catering chemicals and making materials and fibres from this. It is from these homemade fibres that she can manipulate them to make unique fashion pieces. Since fashion has become such a speedy industry, theses pieces do not need to last long, which is ideal for this method. She stated that with this method her work will always be original to both her and the wearer, as it can only be used by them and no one else. In theory Cranes work caters to the two main needs and focus' of the industry, originality and sustainability, since there is zero waste from materials it creates no negative impact on the surrounding environment and provides a one of a kind item.

The Field of Jeans was installed today on the mound at the front of the school. A team of dedicated denim horticulturalists carefully planted the 45 pairs of jeans facing both the school and the public beyond the fence. Each pair of jeans has been catalysed with a special nanotechnological chemical so that collectively they help to reduce harmful emissions in the air along Kidbrooke Park Road. Hopefully this will mean that those waiting for the 178 bus will now be able to do so whilst breathing slightly fresher air!
This Friday all staff members will be engaged in some dynamic learning catalysed by the Field of Jeans and prompted by the attendance of Professor Helen Storey, one of the inventors of Catalytic Clothing and the inspiration behind the Field of Jeans, and Dr Erinma Ochu, a life sciences expert and public engagement specialist from the University of Manchester.
This installation and Friday's conference are part of our ongoing commitment to develop exciting learning opportunities for our students informed by our Tallis Habits of Mind.

The sustainability issue
One of the major issues facing us in re-designing the school uniform is sustainability. What kinds of fabrics will we use? Where have these fabrics come from? Whose lives have been affected by the harvesting of natural resources and the manufacture of the garments?
We have collaborated with Professor Helen Storey on several previous occasions in order to consider the relationship between science and art. This video describes the most recent project in which we were involved, 'Wonderland'.
Clearly we are not able to create a school uniform that would dissolve in water once we were finished with it. But that doesn't mean we can't think about the life cycle of the clothes we wear or try to guarantee that our uniform carries within it some important ideas about the fashion business, the clothes we choose to wear, the lives of the people who make those clothes and the ecology of the planet.
