New York Fashion Week show(0)

For the first time, the Rhode Island School of Design will stage a New York Fashion Week show. The show, called "Collection 2016," and cocktail reception are being sponsored by designer icon Tommy Hilfiger and hosted by RISD graduates Robert Geller, class of 2001, and Nicole Miller, class of 1973.

The show will be from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 14, at Skylight Clarkson Square, 550 Washington St., in Manhattan.

“This is an exciting opportunity for RISD to celebrate our students’ exceptional work and share it with industry leaders, connecting our new alums to the professional world they are now a part of,” said RISD President Rosanne Somerson. She expressed gratitude to Hilfiger, Miller and Geller for helping to make it happen.

The New York show will feature the work of 10 of RISD's Apparel Design graduates from RISD’s class of 2016: Adam Blake, Jacob Blau, Annice Chen, Taylor Greenberg-Goldy, Kay Young Jeong, Christopher Mena, Fred Mezidor, Allison Morgan, Allison Wang and Arnold Wong.

“Attendees will get a first-hand look at the portfolio pieces that earned these graduates some amazing post-grad opportunities,” the school said in a media release. “Annice Chen will be working at Levi’s in San Francisco starting this fall; Jacob Blau is participating in the annual Supima Design Competition during Fashion Week; and Taylor Greenberg-Goldy is a research fellow at the Harvard Biodesign Lab.”

Miller, a RISD trustee in addition to being a graduate, said “I am doubly delighted that we are able to showcase the work of RISD graduates at New York Fashion Week. I show my collections at New York Fashion Week and know the power that this global stage has for a designer’s career. I am eager to see the excellent work of our recent RISD alumni on the runway.”
