The Museum at FIT

The divisions between student and master are beautifully blurred at 27th and 7th. Students create half of the work at the partner museum to one of the premiere institutions of fashion education in the country. The small but satisfying space for visual and fashion art attracts over 100,000 visitors annually. Dior, Chanel, Gucci, Hilfiger and many others have donated their work to be displayed along the students in a chronological, efficient form. The Museum embodies none of the exuberance and decadence that causes most to cringe at the pure existence of one of New York’s largest industries. Its calm layout and understated backdrops invite a thought inducing experience that might not convince to make a Bloomingdales trip but will certainly have you talking about it.
