SUMMARY:Fashion Culture: The Art of Parisian Chic
DESCRIPTION:Cover of The Art of Parisian Chic: Modern Women and Modern Artists in Impressionist Paris. Courtesy of Bloomsbury.\nThe new book by FIT Associate Professor Justine De Young\, The Art of Parisian Chic: Modern Women and Modern Artists in Impressionist Paris\, shows how modern women used fashion and stereotypes such as the Parisienne (chic Parisian woman) or the demoiselle de magasin (shopgirl) to construct and reinvent their identities. De Young will be in conversation with Hilary Davidson\, chair of FIT’s MA program for Fashion and Textile Studies: History\, Theory\, Museum Practice\, about how women were seen\, how they aspired to be seen\, and how they navigated public life in Second Empire and Belle Époque Paris. A book signing follows the event. \nFashion Culture programs are organized by The Museum at FIT to provide new perspectives on the culture of fashion. All programs are free unless otherwise indicated. However\, reservations are strongly encouraged\, as space is limited. See a full calendar of fall 2025 Fashion Culture Program events on the museum website. \nThis event is free and open to the public.  \n REGISTER

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Adapt/Evolve — Closes
DESCRIPTION:September 18–October 25\, 2025\nArt and Design Gallery\, Pomerantz Center \nAdapt/Evolve is a thought-provoking exhibition that examines adaptive and inclusive design across disciplines within FIT’s School of Art and Design\, including Fashion Design\, Accessories Design\, Interior Design\, Graphic Design\, Jewelry Design\, and Toy Design. \nThe exhibition highlights how interdependence is central to how we live\, interact\, and create inclusive design. Adapt/Evolve reexamines the idea of autonomy and questions traditional divides between dependence and independence. Through multidisciplinary objects\, the show also emphasizes how accessible and adaptive design has become a vehicle for breaking down barriers\, allowing us to engage with one another more equally. \nAdapt/Evolve will be accompanied by a symposium\, which will be held October 16\, noon–5 pm. The symposium will feature panel discussions and presentations investigating adaptive design. \nFor details on both the exhibition and the symposium\, visit fitnyc.edu/gallery. \n\nAbout the Art and Design Gallery \nThe Art and Design Gallery brings together the work of FIT students\, faculty\, alumni\, and invited outside artists in every exhibition. The gallery\, located in the glass-walled lobby of FIT’s Pomerantz Center\, is a window into the college and a window out\, serving as a space to foster learning and innovation. \nThe gallery is open 9 am to 5 pm daily. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.
