If you’re in Midtown West* this week, check out the amazing (and free) exhibit at FIT on 7th avenue. The students created everything using muslin fabric and the results are gorgeous. The exhibit runs until April 19 so there’s only a few days left to see it.
*The Art and Design Gallery is open from 9 am until 5 pm, seven days per week. The gallery is located at the northwest corner of Seventh Avenue and West 27th Street.
From the FIT website:
“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.”
