Fashion is a global industry. We're excited to help bring Kent State's internationally recognized fashion programs to Rwanda and support the next generation of designers, merchandisers and entrepreneurs across Africa.

Kent State’s School of Fashion Marks 20 Years of New York City Fashion Program The celebration includes a portfolio showcase, an exclusive philanthropic dinner, and a focus on expanding accessibility for future students.

During Kent State University's School of Fashion Annual Fashion Week, fashion students presented 39 original looks in a 3D Virtual Fashion Show at the Design Innovation Hub's Blank Lab. This event shows what fashion education looks like when digital tools are treated not as a supplement to the curriculum, but as its foundation.

Murmuration 🐦
While exploring the Museum's Corning Gallery, stop and find the contemporary student design, Murmuration, by Kent State University School of Fashion CC Stefanik. Inspired by the migration patterns of chimney swifts, this design mimics the amorphous formations of Chimney swifts that bend, stretch, and fold over themselves, creating mesmerizing displays called a murmuration.
At dusk, chimney swifts will swirl and funnel into chimneys where they rest for the night. This piece captures that eye-catching display and brings it to life on the human form—the shape bends and flows as the legs move, just as a murmuration does in flight. The fence-linked tulle is transparent at some angles, leaving a clear view to the center body, and opaque near the edges.
This look borrows concepts from the chimney swift’s iconic migration pattern to create unique, interesting, and kinetic shapes that are hard to look away from.
See Murmuration in Fashion & Feathers at Cleveland Museum of Natural History, where movement in nature is translated into wearable form.
