Sponsored by Tommy Hilfiger, featuring Brown’s student models
In New York’s Skylight Clarkson Square, a huge Fashion Week venue, Brown students will strut their stuff at 6pm tonight. The runway is showcasing RISD’s most talented seniors.
“This is an exciting opportunity for RISD to celebrate our students’ exceptional work and share it with industry leaders, connecting our new alums to the professional world they are now a part of,” says RISD president Rosanne Somerson.
The 60,000 square feet venue is one of New York’s largest event spaces. Models will walk a complicated circuit while being scrutinized by some of the fashion industry’s biggest names (no pressure boys!).
Clothing is entirely handmade by RISD graduates and ranging from cutting edge and experimental to work-wear.
Apparel students are not only using professional models but our very own Brown University hotties.
