Since 2005, the School of Fashion has premiered the collections of recent graduates
during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. “Part of our commitment to the designers
is to help launch their careers and have their collections seen by as many industry
professionals as possible,” said Dr. Elisa Stephens, President of Academy
of Art University. “Debuting their collections during Mercedes-Benz
Fashion Week at Lincoln Center is an incredible opportunity, especially since
the national and international fashion community are gathered in New York City
during that time.”
Fall 2012 featured the following designers: Wu Di, Amy Bond, Xiang
Zhang, Deanna Pei-Ju Lo, Donghyuk Dan Kim, Farida Khan, Kate Y.K. Lee, Jeanette
Au and Jade Juanyu Liu.
