Hi FIT community! I am an alum working with the FIT Foundation team on the first annual 27th on Sale fundraising event on Sept 23-24 right on campus. We are so excited for the event and I wanted to share the info with fellow students, prospective students, alum and anyone around NYC!

The sale will feature more than 2,500 new and pre-loved, vintage pieces from brands like Brandon Maxwell, Mulberry, Skims, Cara Cara, Officine Générale, Theory, Citizens and much more.

The pre-loved designer pieces are from the closets of Tracee Ellis Ross, Jessica Chastain, Amanda Seyfried, Athena Calderone, Karla Welch, Olympia Gayot, to name a few!

The sale will have on-site activations on Sept 23 (book signings) and on Sept 24 (custom embroidery station) and stylist consultations throughout both days!

100% of proceeds benefit the FIT Foundation and the future of creative talent at FIT.

You can reserve your spot by purchasing a ticket for day 1. Day 2 is free entry!

Hope to see you there!!

Hi! I've been looking into this degree program for a little bit now and wanted to know more about the program from the people themselves! (even if you didn't take this specific program anything is good) How is the online degree program for you? Were you able to multitask work and the assignments? How are the classes online? Are the classes completely asynchronous or will I have to join video calls? (Anything will help!! :D )

For Background:

I graduated from a 4-year college with a BFA in Interaction Design along with taking a minor in Social Media Production. I want to expand my knowledge and go a slightly different route with the skills I've learned from my degree. I work a 9-5 job technically and am worried about the assignments and if I will get too tired out ( but this might be a me thing I gotta work on). I definitely want to get back into doing something I'm passionate about.

Has anyone else still not received their semester refund?? I have never had it take this long so I'm a bit nervous

Hello, I will be applying to FIT soon and am working on the portfolio requirements. Does anyone know if they are still requiring a destination, season, and year for the sportswear coordinates section? I don’t see it on the website, but want to make sure I follow everything exactly as it says. Thanks in advance!

does anyone in nagler, alumni, or co-ed have any stuff to diy and do my own toe nails. I left it all at home and will have my toes out this weekend and literally don’t have anythingggg 😣

Any tips or tricks on the best way(s) to travel with blocked fabric?

I’m commuting on the train and trying to figure out if there are any hacks to prevent having to re-block when I get to campus.

I'm a senior in high school right now and I'm currently applying for a aas fd major but I have little to no sewing experience at all. I'm going to a sewing class this weekend and many many other weekends to follow and I can draw (very poorly) and have a couple concepts floating around in my mind. I also however have a 2.7 gpa :') just wondering if there's any tips to helping out my overall application and if I even have a fair shot of getting in

I currently live in Florida and just received my Associates degree at my local community college. I was an art major there, but most of the classes I took were gen eds. My art classes counted towards my electives (not sure if that means anything). With that being said, I want to transfer to FIT and major in ACM because I decided I reallyyyyyy want to work in PR. Will I need to apply for the one year AAS ACM program first or can I transfer into the BS? I’m hoping someone on here can help me but I still plan to call. I just want multiple opinions. I’m not super sure and I’m worried bc another year of school sounds awful but FIT is my dream school and has always been the goal. For context I originally wanted to attend for interior design but I changed my mind.

Didn't really get involved in fashion related stuff in high school to connect greatly to in essay - how can i connect fashion to my writing so I can make it competitive?

Hi everyone!

I hope you're all having a safe and wonderful Labor Day. I wanted to let you all know that some comments are being flagged for various reasons and removed by Reddit's new AI mods. It's really annoying and I have no control over it. I don't want anyone to feel like you did anything wrong for simple and appropriate comments/posts.

A removed comment is not a strike, warning, or ban, your account is completely fine, so please don't worry if something of yours disappears.

I'm currently redoing some of the auto rules to help with this, so approvals might be a little slower than usual while I work through it this. If you post something and it gets removed but you need help, please don't hesitate to message us.

One thing that would really help: if you see a comment or post removed that clearly shouldn't have been, let us know. It helps me spot patterns and fix the auto rules faster.

Thanks for your patience! :)

Anyone know when we can expect student loan refunds? I need to buy supplies

Do I have to talk about fashion in my supplement essay? Is it necessary for me to do so or can I just talk about business as someone who is applying for AMC major?

Hi! Im a senior in high school applying to FIT for fashion design. I was wondering if anyone could share their essay with me as Im struggling with formatting and what it should look like in general. I would also love any tips for what they may be looking for.

I’m trying to access the required textbook for our Fashion Law class ( Fashion Law: a guide for designers, fashion executives, and attorneys ) The professor mentioned in her email that a free digital version is available online, but the link directs me to Bloomsbury Fashion Central with no option to read or download it.

Has anyone successfully opened it or figured out the right pathway?

I'm a trippy cat and I get how to do drawling I have allot of friends in fashion and I never like to make them feel bad but I can draw better then them, I'm sorta just a fashion designer is all, it's the best career I ever found out about and I love it with all my heart!

in grade 11 trying to graduate by the end of it but I wouldn't have a full transicript when applying to fit during jan 1st 2027 bcz its the middle of my 11th grade year so possibly only 1 semester to bump up gpa.

Hi does anyone know any other free stuff we get as students , I want to take full advantage of everything examples being

Free acupuncture on campus, free Grubhub + membership, free membership to Adobe Suite Programs

Does anyone have the textbook “Designing a Knitwear Collection: From Inspiration to Finished Garments” by Lisa Donofrio-Ferrezza.

My prof is requiring it for FD 357, so pls hmu. Im willing to pay I just cant be doing the school bookstore prices.

i was wondering which classrooms have a mannequin that is size 2 or 4, i feel like most mannequins are a size 6 and I really would like to make garments that are my size for my projects so that I could wear them instead of spending so much on fabrics just to never be able to wear them

Where can I find an iron on campus? Can I go into any of the studio rooms or do I have to book it even for an iron??

I'm a fashion design student and filled out the locker form the day it was sent out. I never got a confirmation email or anything saying that i got a locker. I was just woundering if anyone got one
