Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) is a internationally prominent college of design, fashion, art, communications, and business.

The teaching staff at FIT assists in the student's in developing innovative design and strategic business solutions that will create personal and professional opportunity.

This year, about 25 student designers will have their creation highlighted in this runway event.
Stephanie Ali, president and Veronica Apsan, vice president of the Art and Fashion Design Club will serve as master of ceremonies for the late afternoon show. This year's theme is Kabuki meets La Belle Époque; which corresponds to the college's desire for students to cross traditional boundaries of both geography and disciplines.
