FIT’s MFA in Fashion Design program students conduct rigorous research that culminates in creating eight-look collections, thesis papers and presentations, videos, lookbooks, brand business plans, and portfolios. Graduates leave the program prepared to make a positive impact as industry professionals by working within existing fashion companies or launching their own brands.

With your support, our program can continue to give students the freedom to experiment and create in a highly structured environment supported by an experienced and dynamic faculty. Through their courses and guest lectures, students learn about brand identity, legal issues, and the global supply chain to help focus their designs, develop prototypes, and define their market niche.
