"New York Fashion Week wrapped up last month, and when the lights dimmed on the final runway of this year's NYFW, it marked the end of another season of high fashion, but the beginning of something else entirely. For New York's college students, the chaos and glamour of Fashion Week isn't a finish line; it's a starting line. Beyond the flashbulbs and VIP invitations, the week opens doors for young people trying to break into the industry."
"For students across the city, Fashion Week offers more than a front-row seat. It's a place to work, learn, and meet people who can shape their future careers. As the last looks from this year's New York Fashion Week fade into the rearview, we spoke with three New York college students who are already turning the lessons they learned into fuel for their next steps, with some speeding ahead and others switching lanes entirely."
New York Fashion Week serves as a starting line for college students across the city, offering practical work, learning opportunities, and valuable industry connections. Many students use the event to gain hands-on experience behind cameras, manage events, run brands, and handle production roles that translate into career momentum. Some students accelerate within fashion while others pivot into new directions after participating. For example, Matt Barsallo, a graphic design student at Long Island University, combined campus creative work and networking to collaborate with Perspective Saints, turning an initial connection at a clothing release party into graphic contributions for a Fashion Week show.
