New York Fashion Week

Partnering with IMG College Licensing, retailing students have the opportunity to represent Texas A&M at NYFW: The Shows every September and February in New York City through a program called UofNYFW.

Two students attend NYFW.

This unique academic enrichment program provides a behind-the-scenes look at the fashion industry, including entry into select runway shows and networking opportunities with industry leaders, as well as a panel discussion with entrepreneurs and executives with top collegiate licensees.

Students experience NYFW runway shows, as well as backstage tours to observe the production and execution of a fashion show during the UofNYFW program.
