SF Graduate Fashion Show

At the Academy of Art University School of Fashion, we don't just teach about the fashion industry, we are the fashion industry. As one of the top art and design schools in the country, we provide fashion students with unique opportunities from internships and fashion shows to collaborations with artists, designers, and innovators outside of the classroom. Our instructors have trained at fashion design houses like Alexander McQueen, Calvin Klein, Oscar de la Renta, Vivienne Westwood, and more.

Since 2005, the School of Fashion has presented student collections from textile, knitwear, fashion design, and more on the Academy of Art runway. Each year, hundreds of guests attend this exclusive event and tune in to our livestream, including members of the international press, retailers, and buyers. This is their opportunity to see the creative talent and collections from students come to life on the catwalk.
