In Season 1 last winter, a cast of wannabe Vera Wangs squared off in design challenges that included sewing outfits from grocery-store items (the best entries used a lawn chair and cornhusks). In Season 2 (Wednesdays, 10 p.m. E.T.), one designer concocts a dress so audacious it may fall apart on the runway: it's held together by magnets. Other television...

...member who teaches courses that are defined as Environmental Studies. Students interested in that focus should become acquainted with him, and they should speak with him about shaping a plan of study.” It is clear that, ultimately, it is each applicant’s responsibility to design an appropriate plan of study. This level of autonomy is unique in the VES department. In contrast, the FAS handbook details explicit study tracks for students focusing in Studio Arts, Film/Video, and Film Studies. Some students consider the open-endedness of the Environmental Studies track to be liberating. Charlotte...
