FIT Newsroom

FIT’s graduating BFA class in Fashion Design presents a professional runway show every spring. Each year, industry critics lend their expertise to our graduating students during their final semester as they prepare for the fashion show. Fashion professionals decide which garments are outstanding enough to make it to the runway in each of the specializations: intimate apparel, special occasion, knitwear, children’s wear, and sportswear.
