Sartorint

Sartornit is a title given by the Institution of Functional Design (IFD), a fashion school with an impetus to balance both unique design with practicality, as IFD often says that other designers fail to make a jaw dropping design while allowing for a person's day to day life.

History

The title of sartorint was created by Professor Markus Morell in 1954. Several students were graduating with the highest honors known in the school's history, encompassing IFD's core values. A majority of the student's professors during their entire university career were to agree that the student would be awarded the title, after earning near perfect grades during their final year.
This has changed several times over the years, but currently it has returned to requiring a majority of the professor's approval - all of the professor's instead of only the teachers who presided over the student's classes during their studies. Most students have to apply for the title sartorint to take all of the professors' time to examine the work done in their final year. Only in rare cases does a professor ask the student to submit their work for such judgement.

Criticisms

While some students enter the Institution of Functional Design with the desire of graduating as sartorint, many who have be awarded the title find it pointless. Having the title or not does not do much for ones career past the certificate of completing one's design studies in the school as is. Only fashion designers who become rather successful on their own are ever called sartorint by those outside of IFD.

"Ishani and I call each other sartorint when we're feeling particularly amused. Neither of us applied on our own. I appreciate IFD for many things, but sartorint doesn't have a functional use. It's only there to be pretty, and that's against our core values."
