Parsons MFA Generation 8 2019 Fashion Design & Society exhibit

The opening reception of the 2019 Parsons MFA Fashion Design and Society exhibition might have heralded the beginning of NYFW but more importantly it gives us a glimpse behind the polish and public relations usually associated with runway shows. Although the MFA program held their own annual runway show earlier that day, for many the opportunity to peer inside the students’ process books, handle the inventive fabric developments, and speak with the designers themselves is a more engaging and satisfying event. This year’s exhibition had boundless creativity to spotlight.
