Description/Summary: The Future of Fashion runway show, presented by Macy’s, dazzled guests at The Glasshouse on Wednesday, May 8. The show featured designs created by a select group of 73 graduates in the class of 2024 in FIT’s Fashion Design BFA program.
The work of these students, who started at FIT near the beginning of the pandemic, pushes the boundaries of creativity. Their thesis designs feature dragons, themes of interconnectivity, and sustainable materials. Embellishments include beaded, knitted fringe; dip-dyed ombre; bright orange faux fur; and much more.
Students across all five specializations—children’s wear, intimate apparel, knitwear, special occasion, and sportswear—brought vibrant color and texture to their innovative fashions. Hairstyling for the models in the show was provided by Bumble & Bumble, makeup services by Dior Beauty.
Thirteen of the designers won Critic Awards, given each year by the renowned industry mentors who work alongside students in their final semester. Each critic is a leader in one of the Fashion Design program’s areas of specialization; many are alumni of the program. Find detailed bios of our critics on the Future of Fashion website at fitnyc.edu/future.; The 2024 Critic Award winners are:
