Inclusive Beauty with BuzzFeed

This thought-provoking panel will discuss beauty standards and how the fashion, beauty, and media industries address diversity and inclusion. What is the impact of gender, race, body size, ability, culture, age, etc.? What role can FIT students play in creating more inclusive industries? We have invited some influencers involved in various aspects of media and beauty to join our panel; two of them—Augusta Falletta and Jillian Mercado—are even FIT alumni. Join us as they share their stories, insights, and advice with us.
