My name is Iris Favand,
I am a student in Parsons, and my major is Fashion Design. I come from Paris, where I studied Humanities before to come to New York. Besides Art and Design, I am indeed fond of Literature, Philosophy and History. I am also very interested in Politics and Sociology, and leaving in New York in this era only reinforced my interest! I hope that someday I will manage to link my different passions.
I really enjoy New York, which is such a cosmopolitan city. I meet people from all over the world, and I really like this fact. Living here made me have a different view on my home country : more critical for sure, and sometimes more tolerant toward its defaults (the extreme right wing is rising but, at least we didn’t elect Trump. And we have healthcare.).
I leave in Brooklyn, and I love wandering -okay, getting lost- in the street. Especially in weird places with abandoned factories and wastelands. I also love going to exhibitions, to plays and to music shows. And occasionally, to demonstrations.
