Progress rarely runs in a straight line. Neither does our approach to preparing students for a demanding creative economy. Skills...relationships...knowledge...drive...they all help fuel the Creative Community that is FIT.

At FIT, artists collaborate with executives, faculty influence business, and the working world informs the classroom. Here, academic and professional partnerships grow from new ideas that spark change. Students design and produce and learn and connect. And our New York City location enables the coolest collaborations: museums, libraries, zoos, universities, hospitals, and media organizations are just some of our partners.

The FIT community is a network of alumni, industry, students, and faculty exploring and growing and challenging the status quo. Are you ready to join us?

A Unique Community Focused on the Future

What makes FIT unlike any other community? A world-class faculty with a blend of industry expertise and academic credentials. Alumni who break the mold and set new standards for excellence. Industry connections that open up incredible opportunities—like competitions that give students professional-level experience in the classroom. And so much more!

The Power of the Network

Collaboration is behind everything we do, from The Museum at FIT's engaging exhibitions to Hue magazine's vibrant stories to the FIT Foundation's vital partnerships that support it all.

Leading the Leaders

FIT is a catalyst for people who shape the creative economy. Our alumni, faculty, and industry partners break ground, spark change, and make things happen.

I attended FIT in the late 1970s, and the school provided a totally comprehensive curriculum for fashion design that is unparalleled. Since my days there, it has evolved and become even stronger.
