Dr. Joyce Campbell received this from Danielle, a continuing scholar who was selected as 1 of 12 FIDM students this year for a very special international program.
Hi!
We’re only 1 month into the program, so “family” might be a stretch, but we do see each other a lot and text in the group chats daily! There’s been a certain amount of passive aggression and a struggle for leadership, but we’re doing our best to all get along and work as a team.
So far, the only travel has been field trips in the LA/Hollywood area, and to Texas for a weekend. We will be in Europe in September, while the Denim program will be visiting Japan (I’m jealous). We will have a full schedule of meetings with designers, manufacturers, and contractors, attend Paris Fashion Week and possibly Herbalife Paris 2018 or go to their Paris headquarters. Then, We’ll be in China in January for Hong Kong fashion week, a trade show, and more meetings with suppliers.
That’s cool! I studied some of those practices when I took a color class last year. I’ll keep that in mind haha. I personally love the natural/garment dye look. We have thought about sustainability, but I think we’re going to focus more on innovative finishes, fabric constructions, and versatile design. I’m planning on designing men’s wear-to-work with professional and performance fabrics, inspired by Ministry of Supply and Lawrence Hunt, merchandised for Herbalife Nutrition independent distributors (or partner this year).
Hope all is well! Thanks for thinking of me!

Dec 12, 2017 | Boys & Girls Club Christmas Party, News, Programs
On December 9th the Kiwanis Club of Rolling Hills Estates held their annual Christmas party at the Boys and Girls Club in Harbor City. Fifty children from the Boys and Girls Club and Volunteers of America participated in the event. Ken Dyda, City Councilman of Rancho Palos Verdes and past mayor acted as Santa Claus.
In keeping with the Kiwanis Club mission of giving the children a hand up and not a hand out, and to instill this in the children at this early age, presents were constructed as a gift for their families as part of the program.
Prior to receiving their gifts the children were treated to a lunch of pizza and fried chicken.
Supporting the program were Key Club high school students from Peninsula and Palos Verdes High.
Oct 29, 2017 | News, Photos, Prosthetic Hands
On October 28, 2017 the Kiwanis Club of Rolling Hills Estates held their second annual project to assemble 12 prosthetic hands. The prosthetic hands will be donated to a nonprofit organization for distribution to needy children that have lost their fingers as a result of birth or injury.
The components were manufactured by Palos Verdes on the Net (PVNeT) a nonprofit technology center using 3D printing. Sixteen Kiwanis Key Club high school students assembled the hands. The students were from the three local high schools, Peninsula, Palos Verdes and Mary Star.
The Kiwanis Club of Rolling Hills Estates joins the global network of passionate volunteers using 3D printing to help children, giving them a “Helping Hand” where medical care is hard to find and where owning a traditional prosthetic device is nothing but a dream.
