This blog contains the honest, emotional, anecdotal commentary of Fusion Fashion Show’s beloved director, Jimmy. It’s the only place to get the inside info on the affectionate friendships forming between designers, crazy cat fights at model fittings, last-second pre-show antics, and all that is amusing about the runway show and all the work that goes into it.
ABOUT FUSION FASHION SHOW
Fusion Fashion Show is an annual competition between The Fashion Institute of Technology and Parsons The New School for Design’s brightest young talent. Fifteen undergraduate students from each school (any major is eligible, though most of our contestants come from Fashion Design) are chosen to represent their school with a collection of five looks on the runway.
The show has grown exponentially over the past eleven years, accumulating a world-wide following of fans. Featured in magazines from New York to Tokyo, this climactic presentation of innovative new ideas constructed with limited resources and experience gets more thrilling to behold each time around.
Our past judge panels include some of the most prestigious names in the industry, and as Fusion grows, more and more influentials have stepped in to inspire and support the next generation of fashion elite.
