Beyond Fashion - The Exhibition 2025
to
Vignelli Center for Design Studies sponsors an annual and much anticipated event, Beyond Fashion. A celebration of design and community, Beyond Fashion weaves together a diverse collection of garments crafted by select local designers and students from RIT College of Art and Design’s Metal and Jewelry Design and Industrial Design programs.
This exhibition is curated by Gabrielle Payne and Kaitlyn Kavanaugh, RIT College of Liberal Arts, Museum Studies, BS 2026, and features original fashion designs from the 2025 event.
This year’s theme is ‘Vignelli Canon’ – a tribute to Lella and Massimo Vignelli’s design ethos. The work featured is inspired by artifacts from the Vignelli Center for Design Studies Archive.
