House, Fashion & the Pursuit of __________

Dear Students, Faculty and Friends of the SAIC Fashion Department,

Welcome to the Fashion 2021 Virtual festival celebrating the achievements of all our students and classes in the fashion department!

It has been an extraordinary academic year; one, which we will share with you the way we shared much this past year: virtually. May 14, 2021 marks the launch of a new department website which gives each student their own showcase. On this day we also premiere a suite of fashion films created by the graduating senior class of 2021. We are delighted to toast the awardees, and celebrate all our students, for their amazing pursuits through creativity, innovation, and resilience.
