The Best Show in Town

The FIT Senior Show is really what everyone wishes fashion week was like: lots of yelling, catcalling, a few models who just can't walk in very high heels, and multiple segments punctuated by music changes (knitwear, children, lingerie, evening, and daywear). And there's no showstopper like a smiling kid sprinting down the runway. Although note to FIT: it's a little jarring to see the kids right after the lingerie segment.

And this year there were even some men thrown into the mix.

Why do the guys always stop 5 ft. from the end of the runway? Love the short pants in 2nd shot.


















I appreciate some creative evening wear for men. Not quite sure about the white jacket and gloves, but high points for innovation.


















Some pretty lingerie looks. Love the creamy hues of 1st pic.

















Always the cutest kids because none of them act like child models. Although #2 was working her coat on that runway.


















Daywear and knits, really impressive segments. #'s 2 & 3 for me, please!


















Great leggings, fabulous knit, and who's selling that kimono? I need it!


















Some fun evening wear...

















And two favorite, innovative pieces. Wish I had better shots.

I can't imagine any guy I know wearing any of those clothes but I do love the lingerie looks.

I once went to FIDM senior fashion show in L.A. It was fun to see all the fresh talent and excitement for the designers.

I actually really like that white jacket! I could see someone like Kanye pulling it off.
