Fashion Design MFA Class of 2021
FIT’s Fashion Design MFA class of 2021 are interviewed and their designs are highlighted in an extensively illustrated article from 1Granary, which calls the collection “sartorial genius.” “With a history of cultivating and nurturing artistic talent dating back nearly eight decades, it comes as no surprise that the graduates’ collections show an array of techniques, approaches, and inspirations. The collections’ themes are ranging from incorporating functionality in new ways, honouring tradition and family history, to addressing rebellion and trauma. All throughout, their designs are deeply personal without losing attention to craftsmanship and innovation. At FIT, where creativity is currency, the MFA class of 2021 can only be described as rich.”
