Fashion Design AAS Exhibition
For the spring 2023 Fashion Design AAS program’s capstone projects, students were asked to create their garments using muslin fabric exclusively. As a result, the exhibition focuses on simple forms and techniques, encouraging innovation and skill. For example, students could choose from a variety of weights, and the muslin could be draped, pleated, embroidered, dyed, or hand-painted. Included are works selected for Critic Awards by industry mentors who have worked alongside students throughout the semester—two in fashion illustration and three in apparel design.
FIT Fabulous: A Modern Investigation of Hip Hop
In a unique counterpoint to The Museum at FIT’s Fresh, Fly and Fabulous: Fifty Years of Hip Hop Style exhibition, students present work with hip-hop themes from their respective majors. Works include graffiti-themed murals by Illustration students, hip hop–inspired furniture by Interior Design students, and a DJ booth for sampling hip hop music created by a team from Spatial Experience Design. Also on display will be a typeface created by Graphic Design students after exploring iconic spots in New York City where hip hop got its start.
