This unique program is designed to immerse participants in the fast-paced environment of NYFW, offering insights that go beyond the runway.
Behind the Scenes at NYFW
Participants will be mentored by seasoned industry professionals who have been part of NYFW for over 20 seasons. This mentorship is more than just observing; it's about diving deep into the intricacies of fashion show production. From venue setup and management to preparing collections and dressing models, you'll be actively involved in bringing a fashion show to life. You'll also gain valuable experience checking in with the press and attendees, creating content, and managing social media during the event.
Exploring NYC's Fashion Landmarks
But the experience doesn't stop at NYFW. Fashion Mingle's program includes exclusive behind-the-scenes tours of some of New York City's most iconic fashion landmarks. You'll explore the Garment District, home to countless designers, suppliers, and the inspiration behind Project Runway. A visit to Mood Fabrics will give you a glimpse into the fabric selection process that fuels the creative minds of top designers.
The Retail 101 tour at Macy's Flagship store is a must for anyone interested in the business side of fashion. With over 10 floors of designer brands, restaurants, and services, you'll learn how brands, buyers, and merchandisers work together to create a shopping experience like no other.
For inspiration, visit The Museum at FIT, home to a permanent collection of more than 50,000 garments and accessories from the 18th century to the present. You'll see the work of legendary designers such as Chanel, Dior, Halston, Yves Saint Laurent, and Vivienne Westwood up close.
