Parsons changes it up for BFA Synergies graduate fashion show

Parsons tried something different this year for their BFA fashion show held in the august Hall Des Lumières in lower Manhattan. In the spirit of inclusivity that has become a core principle of the school’s pedagogy, especially since Ben Barry became Dean of the School of Fashion in 2021, the runway presented one look from every single graduating senior. That added up to 217 exits from across the five pathways of Collections, Fashion Product, Materiality, Systems and Society, and Phygital Fashion. It was announced as its biggest show ever.
