Fashion in Film Part III:
Sabrina
The School of Art and Design History and Theory at Parsons is pleased to announce the
Fashion in Film festival celebrating the launch of the new MA Fashion Studies program, which commences in fall 2010.
This year’s festival spotlights films in which New York City can be seen through fashion, films that captured and defined an attitude or an era, and films in which New York City style exists as an idea in relation to other cities and locales (i.e. Paris).
For the inaugural festival, writers, critics, and fashion personalities in New York have been invited to select one of their favorite New York City films and to come and introduce it, allowing us to see fashion, film, and NYC in new ways.

April 6–27, 2010
Screenings on Tuesdays from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in Tishman Auditorium, 66 West 12th Street
