Campus just got a whole lot more colorful.
About 80 FIT Illustration BFA seniors took their artistic talents beyond the classroom for this year’s Chalk FIT, transforming the college’s Seventh Avenue facade and, for the first time, the fifth-floor walls of the Feldman Center into vibrant canvases of original artwork. Inspired by this year’s theme, The Art of Play, the students depicted humans, animals, and other creatures letting loose and having a great time.
See it for yourself! Swipe for a peek, and stop by Seventh Avenue and the fifth floor of the Feldman Center to explore the artwork up close. Visit @ChalkFITNYC to learn more about what our students dreamed up!

There’s nothing quite like coming together at FIT.
From @FITAlumni reconnecting with old friends and former professors to families getting a glimpse into their students’ lives on campus, Alumni and Family Weekend brought together generations of Tigers for three days of connection, celebration, and community.
Whether returning to familiar spaces or making new friends, the weekend was a reminder of the people and experiences that make FIT so special.
Thank you to our alumni, students, families, faculty, staff, and friends who joined us and made this year’s celebration one to remember.
Until next year!

Great design does more than shape spaces. It shapes how we live, work, and connect.
Congratulations to Perkins&Will (@PerkinsWill), recipient of the Lawrence Israel Prize, awarded by FIT’s Interior Design Department, recognizing the firm’s contributions to architecture and design and its commitment to creating spaces with purpose.
Known for its philosophy of “Living Design,” the firm is rethinking how the built environment can support human well-being, respond to climate change, and foster connection.

The Museum at FIT’s 2026 Couture Council Luncheon honored legendary designer Diane von Furstenberg with the 2026 Couture Council Award, recognizing her extraordinary contributions to fashion and lasting influence on generations of designers. @TheRealDVF @DVF presented by Vanessa Friedman (@VVFriedman) of The New York Times, the celebration brought together some of fashion’s most influential figures to recognize von Furstenberg’s remarkable career, from revolutionizing women’s wardrobes with the iconic wrap dress to championing confidence, independence, and self-expression.
The afternoon also celebrated FIT’s next generation of talent, with Art History and Museum Professions student Chloe LaBel receiving the annual Museum at FIT Student Award. FIT Menswear students also left their mark on the occasion, creating custom table runners inspired by an archival 1983 DVF ikat print.

The next big innovation in luxury fragrance? It’s personal, portable, and entirely customizable.
FIT Cosmetics and Fragrance Marketing graduate Christine Lin ’26 and Parsons School of Design teammates Britney Chen and Louis Lin have made history as the first American team in 18 years to win the global @LOrealGroupe Brandstorm competition.
Their winning concept, Capturé, reimagines how we wear scent through dissolvable fragrance strips that allow users to mix notes and adjust their scent throughout the day, all housed in a compact, recycled aluminum case.
Competing against innovators from around the world, the team took top honors in Paris and will return to L’Oréal Luxe headquarters in 2027 to explore the feasibility of bringing their concept to market.
Learn more about their winning idea and the inspiration behind it at lnk.bio/FITNYC.

This week, @MsFelitaHarris officially kicked off The Designer’s Path at the Fashion Institute of Technology (@FITNYC), opening the Future//Forward Presidential Speaker Series in conversation with FIT President @JasonSchupbach.
The evening began with an intimate reception and book signing, followed by a conversation with FIT students exploring Felita’s journey through the fashion industry, the founding and growth of RAISEfashion, and what designers need to build successful, enduring businesses. RAISEfashion designers and industry leaders joined us for this meaningful first chapter.
Thank you to President Schupbach and the FIT team for creating space for a conversation so deeply connected to the work of RAISEfashion and the purpose behind this book.
