SUMMARY:Fashion Design AAS Exhibition: Harmonic Threads — Opens
DESCRIPTION:By Moe Chonan\, FIT.\nApril 8–15\, 2026\nArt and Design Gallery \nMusic is a universal language that shapes how we think\, feel\, and connect. Harmonic Threads explores music beyond genre\, focusing instead on the emotions that sound evokes and how those feelings translate into fashion. Through silhouette\, texture\, color\, and movement\, the exhibition invites viewers to consider how emotional experiences—fleeting\, layered\, or contradictory—can be materialized on the body. \nThe exhibition is organized by the Fashion Design AAS Exhibition Committee with collaborators\, including adjunct instructor Ethan Minsker of the Film and Media department\, with students Benjamin Tarace and Candance Cooper\, who produced a short film about the connection between music and emotion. Hue magazine’s Alexander Joseph and intern Kevin Diller produced a short film asking members of the FIT community about their favorite music. \nCritic Award Ceremony: April 9\, 1–2 pm \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.
