In celebration of “The Devil Wears Prada 2” opening today, we’re throwing it back to last week—when six FIT Fashion Design students scored seats at Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM “Front Row” interview with the cast (yes, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci). Thanks for joining us, President Schupbach!

To set the stage, @SiriusXM recreated the fictional “Runway Magazine” office using the stellar designs of these six outstanding FIT students:

Thank you, Andy! We had a blast.

From the petri dish to the runway, @Columbia is leading innovation in the fashion and textile space with its PRISM platform, which has been awarded an $11.5 million grant from the @bezosearthfund.

The PRISM platform, co-developed by Helen Lu, the Percy K. and Vida L.W. Professor of Biomedical Engineering and professor of dental and craniofacial engineering, and Theanne Schiros, professor of materials science and project lead at SUNY’s Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), is a 5-year research program to develop a high-quality textile fiber grown by bacteria fed on agricultural waste. The PRISM program is one of the latest efforts of Gotham Foundry, a sustainable materials innovation hub launched in 2025 with support from the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYC EDC).

The resulting fiber would require no land use and produce no microplastic pollution, a major step forward for the textile industry, which is a leading global contributor to climate change, water use, waste, and pollution. At Columbia, the PRISM team also includes Professors Marianna Maiaru, Mary Boyce, and Harris Wang. Congrats to all!

Where every body at the museum hangs out ✨

The mannequin storage room at @museumatfit houses mannequins from several decades. Some are based on real people, such as Twiggy or Cher. Others mimic what the body looks like with a corset on. All help to tell the curatorial narrative of an exhibition in their own way. “The body plays as much of a part in your interpretation and understanding of the fashion as the clothing does itself,” conservator @callie_oc explains.

Learn more about the mannequins and dress forms held in the storage room, and how they represent the “fashionable body” of their time, at the link in bio.

It’s the final chance to get your last look at the incredible “Harmonic Threads” exhibition, organized by the Fashion Design AAS Exhibition Committee with film collaborators from Film and Media and Hue magazine.

“Harmonic Threads” explores that emotional language, translating sound into silhouette, texture, color, and movement. @fit_artdesign

We caught up with Dr. Elizabeth Way (@elizaruw), the curator behind the latest @MuseumatFIT exhibition, “Art X Fashion,” to unpack the ideas and curatorial lens behind the exhibition, and to ask a simple question: Is fashion art?

Spanning centuries of work, the exhibition traces how fashion and art have long existed in dialogue, continuing to shape, challenge, and inspire one another, and what that relationship offers to the next generation of creatives.

See the exhibition “Art X Fashion,” open now through April 19.
