Sneak Peek of 2019 Fluidity Fashion Show
We are ecstatic to announce this year’s Fashion Show theme-Fluidity. Fluidity celebrates individuality and acceptance. The concept of a genderless future has taken the Fashion Industry by storm by giving consumers the freedom to explore what they want to wear without worrying that their choices are defined by gender. Our students are evolving and experimenting with the expression of style by unapologetically breaking binary barriers. Fluidity is more than just a lifestyle and is often open to interpretation. We have challenged our students to create cohesive collections that reflect what fluidity means to them- as a native New Yorker. We invite you to journey with us on an immersive experience featuring the following fashion houses: Soho, Chelsea, Greenwich Village, Lower East Side, Hell’s Kitchen, and Chinatown.

Annual Holiday Window Unveiling was a Smashing Success!
The annual Holiday Window Unveiling with Simon Doonan, Barney's Creative Ambassador was MAGICAL!!!
The theme for our holiday windows this year was "Fashion Icons." Our Visual Merchandising students paid homage to ‘Fashion Icons’: Dapper Dan; Christian Louboutin; Rihanna; Diana Ross; Andy Warhol; and Andre Leon Talley. This list represents the broad spectrum in which fashion impacts our world--through design, influencers (pop-culture), art, and media (magazines).
Adding to the tremendous show of support from our students, staff and families was an appearance by Dapper Dan and Andre Leon Talley themselves. Students received guidance from the legendary Simon Doonan as part of the culminating project of a master class. Opportunities such as these allow students to develop their craft, learn from a trailblazer in the industry, and inspire the next generation of visual merchandisers. The energy was absolutely electrifying and captured the essence and merriment of the spirit of the holiday.
