This last week, SCAD Fibers got a masterclass in what it means to bring a working professional into the studio.
— founder of When Simon Met Ralph and one of fashion’s most boundary-pushing designers — joined us as our latest visiting mentor, spending several days with us in Pepe Hall. A public talk, one-on-one portfolio reviews, class visits, and a hands-on screen printing workshop. Students got the full picture: not just the work, but the person behind it.
Simon’s energy is genuinely contagious — generous, fearless, and completely present with every student he met. Our students were so lucky to have him here.
Thank you, Simon. We can’t wait to have you back.
