Congratulations to the fashion design class of 2022-- you have persevered in a difficult time of change and uncertainty- successfully transitioning back into the studio- and accomplishing great things. This years’ work reflects many of the important issues that face our industry- addressing agism, inclusivity, gender neutral design, responsible design and so much more. You have created beautiful, meaningful, and powerful work with grace, style, compassion, and incredible support for one another other. You have shared positive and powerful messaging and shown your desire to make the world a better place, through the lens of fashion.
