Description
31 designers. 12 nationalities. 4 continents. 1 runway. The Parsons BFA Fashion Design Class of 2026 presented ENSEMBLE — a runway showcase celebrating individuality, craftsmanship, and fashion as a reflection of identity, heritage, and transformation. Across every collection were explorations of resistance, self-determination, and cultural memory.
