Job Connections
The best fashion college in NYC; forget about FIT, Parsons, New School, or Pratt, the best of the best come teach here, and the best job connections are also here. If you want to earn a living in the corporate sector of luxury fashion houses, this is the place to be. 10/10 would give 10 stars if I could. Don’t hesitate to register and follow your dreams! Cheaper than FIT and Parsons too!!
