Linda Ohrn-McDaniel, a faculty members of Kent State University's School of Fashion and a resident of Tallmadge recently garnered an award at the 2009 International Textile and Apparel Association annual meeting in Seattle.
Ohrn-McDaniel, an assistant professor, received the ATEXINC Award for Textile Design, specifically, for Best Sustainable Design by Faculty and was given by Educators for Socially Responsible Apparel Business. The dress, made completely from drier sheets and titled "Poured Out and Dried Up," was created by the layering of used drier sheets, hand tacked together with a transparent thread, then embellished with dyed Pepsi-bottle sequins.
"It was a great honor to receive this award," Ohrn-McDaniel said. "I feel strongly about sustainable design for many reasons in today's environment. It is difficult to not be aware of the need to save and use our resources as effectively we can."
Ohrn-McDaniel, Swedish-born and raised, has been an assistant professor at Kent State since 2004 and currently teaches Fashion Studio III and IV senior-level classes, where students construct their final collections, and machine knitting.
