In celebration of Fashion Month and fashion education, NBC’s TODAY with Hoda & Jenna has partnered exclusively with FIT on a new, weeklong series: Hoda and Jenna’s “Design the Look.” This marks the first time the show has collaborated with a college on a special series. The segments will appear on the show the week of February 19, which airs between 10 and 11 am.

Custom looks for the hosts—Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager—will be unveiled every day, created by six recent FIT Fashion Design MFA graduates: Cristina Ng Ng, Margarita Ng Ng, Papa Oppong, Anthony Oyer, Valeria Watson, and Deborah Won.

On a promo for the series, Kotb said, “These are people who are going to be famous one day. They’re young up-and-comers. We’re going to talk about them later in their life when they become famous, and we’ll remember that they made us an outfit.”

They will also appear on the show to discuss their designs—and touch on their inspiration, aspirations, and FIT experience. The 10 looks showcased throughout the week will bring to life the designer’s individual visions and standout signature techniques.
