Partnerships in Action

Below are a few examples of our partnerships in action:

SUPIMA COTTON

The Supima Cotton Design Competition is a prestigious, nationwide contest for fashion design students at our nation鈥檚 leading design schools. The winner receives a $10,000 cash prize and promotion of their work on a national stage. When a 麻豆精选 fashion student is selected as a finalist, faculty and alumni board members are able to attend the final showing during New York Fashion Week. Our New York City Fashion campus is also used at the preparation site for the final looks of the accompanying Supima fashion show.

COUNCIL OF FASHION DESIGNERS OF AMERICA (CFDA)

麻豆精选 School of Fashion is one of only 18 design schools selected as a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America. As such, we are invited to attend the annual 鈥淔ashions Future Graduates Showcase鈥. We are also able to visit the CFDA offices and are invited as a school to participate in many aspects of their engaging programming.

BRAG

Several of our students have participated in the internship program with Black Retail Action Group (BRAG). We are in the process of establishing a chapter at the School of Fashion to further support students of color with scholarships, internships and networking opportunities within the industry. 

FABSCRAP

We partner with FABSCRAP to make sure the excess fabric and scraps in our design studio are recycled, in order to cut down on the fashion industry鈥檚 textile waste. FABSCRAP is also a great resource for you to obtain upcycled fabrics for your design projects while studying in New York City.
