Latinx Designers Are Revolutionizing American Fashion

In celebration of #HispanicHeritageMonth, read ELLE Magazine (US)'s September 2021 issue featuring The Museum at FIT’s senior curator of education and public programs Tanya Melendez ‘04 alongside prominent Latinx designers that are reshaping the fashion industry. Meléndez-Escalante, who is responsible for organizing the museum’s Fashion Culture series, will be working with FIT collections and education assistant Michelle McVicker on a Latinx fashion exhibition slated for 2023.

“The issues that Latinx people face are slightly different from those of Latin American people. There’s always an undercurrent of discrimination when we’re talking about minorities in the United States. If you are categorized as a Latino, an Asian American, or a Black person, that has implications in your day-to-day life.”—Tanya Meléndez-Escalante

How a community of designers is reshaping the fashion industry in their own image—and giving back to their communities in turn.

President Brown on the 20th Anniversary of 9/11

“What I remember most poignantly was the way the country was able to forget the differences among us—differences in race, ethnicity, nationality and religion, in order to forge bonds in a common cause. At that moment, as newly vulnerable as we were, we appeared strengthened in our determination not to succumb to the kind of fear and panic that breeds blame and bigotry. It appears now that we were, at the very least, naïve.

As we know too well, over the past very eventful and clamorous two decades we became a nation divided, battling over values, ethics and the very meaning of democracy. Over time, our hope that we could count on that early collective spirit of cooperation and compassion dissipated, leading, too often, to violence and suspicion, conspiracy theories and the kind of domestic terrorism that threatens the core of our democracy. Twenty years later, we are still reeling.”

FIT President Joyce F. Brown has shared the following remarks to commemorate the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Visit FIT’s Newsroom to read her full statement.

The Future of Textiles Is Collaborative: MIT and FIT Develop Transdisciplinary Innovation Playbook

Introducing the Transdisciplinary Innovation Playbook, an instructional manual developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), FIT, and the Advanced Functional Fabrics of America (AFFOA) on how organizations and institutions could replicate their process to develop their own collaborative programs.

The playbook, an outgrowth of the resulting multi-year partnership between FIT and MIT, is a model for successfully embarking on innovative partnerships. The manual offers step-by-step considerations for how to build interdisciplinary workshops that prepare students to think beyond their specializations and to tackle real-world problems together.

DAME: The Cool New Jewelry Brand Uniting & Representing NYC’s Artistic Community

Congrats to FIT grads Ashley Giunta and Ariel Bielsky on having their jewelry brand DAME featured in Forbes!

"There were so many powerful women who had their portraits up who were given the title 'dame.' The experience of seeing these women’s portraits up who were very accomplished was really powerful," says Giunta on the brand’s name after a trip to London’s National Portrait Gallery. Read about their collection below.

It's safe to say the subway-traveling, vintage designer bag-carrying, ultra cool Brooklyn fashion crowd has found a new jewelry brand to love—and it's about DAME time.

As FIT’s 75th anniversary year ends, we’re taking a moment to celebrate our community’s extraordinary achievements in creating positive change for a better future. In this challenging year, we are working toward positive change for FIT’s future. In a collaboration with Montefiore Hospital, faculty members Barbara Seggio and Lauren Zodel created “baby slips,” a garment that helps prevent new mothers from dropping their babies. FIT received its first patent in November 2019. (Note: Video was created in 2019)
