Finishing thesis collections and showcasing them from quarantine has created both challenges and opportunities for fashion school grads.
Author:Dhani MauPublish date:May 28, 2020While marquee-name designers are still trying figure out if and how they'll approach Spring 2021 fashion shows come September, a different group of designers has already been forced to navigate this challenge, and without much time to prepare.
This inevitably posed challenges for students who weren't able to access dress forms and other tools they'd initially planned to use, but it also created an opportunity for them to experiment with alternative presentation formats — namely, digital ones, as they graduate into a world where that knowledge is becoming increasingly important.
Parsons School of Design usually hosts a benefit/fashion show for students in May, as well as an MFA show during New York Fashion Week in September. In lieu of the former, it's putting together Here and Now, a "virtual festival and digital experience that will showcase the work of our 2020 graduates," according to Interim Dean Jason Kass.
"When I first came to FIT, we all think the end of everything is to have your garment walk down the runway; when everything shut down, initially it was very disappointing, it was a shock. This was everything I've been working toward," says FIT's Behera. Similarly, fellow FIT sportswear designer Nathaly Delacruz's final project was all about the marriage between fashion and film. She'd created a film to display her garments before the time of self-isolation. "The Covid-19 crisis has encouraged me to develop and strengthen my self-learned filmmaking skills in order to best communicate my design stories and approaches," she says.
"Pivoting to a virtual presentation definitely made me evaluate my online portfolio much more critically," shares Hill. "I love doing things by hand so I had to push myself to ensure I brought some more of those by-hand touches to the screen. Even since the presentation, I've been adjusting my portfolio to include more scanned hand-written notes, drawings, and collages to make the online presentation embody more of my essence.
"Going virtual gave us space to explore a more intimate and personal side of SNR [Silver Needle Runway] 34," Alexa Cerza, SNR34 Production Director and senior at Marist College, tells Fashionista. "We prioritized showcasing their incredible designs, but also their thoughtful process and inspiration, which often gets lost in a physical runway format."

Black Man Blissfully Unaware His Name Going To Be Hashtag By End Of WeekCOLUMBUS, OH—Going about his daily routine without any knowledge of what would transpire in the near future, local black man Richard Phillips was said to be blissfully unaware Thursday that his name would be a social media hashtag by the end of the week. According to sources, the 38-year-old African American and father of two continued to run errands and commute to his job with no inkling that in less than 36 hours, his first and last name would be a nationally trending term on Facebook and Twitter, frequently appearing after the words “justice for” and “remember.” As he purchased his lunch from a sandwich shop around the corner from his workplace, those with knowledge of the situation confirmed Phillips did not have the faintest clue that in addition to the hundreds of thousands of mentions on social media, his name would soon appear on homemade signs and T-shirts worn by thousands of strangers all over the country. At press time, the mercifully oblivious Phillips was, heartbreakingly, calling home and discussing with family members what they wanted to do this weekend.
