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.
Inscription: The Process Work of Albert Paley
to
University Gallery GRID Space
Albert Paley (b. 1944) is an American metal sculptor and the creator of RIT’s Sentinel. From large-scale public sculptures to intricate pieces of jewelry, Paley’s work in the RIT Archives spans more than six decades and a variety of mediums. Through glimpses into the most intimate stages of the artistic process, his lines, curves and angles can be traced through extensive paper trails. This exhibit celebrates the uniqueness of an artist’s active touch found in the connections between Paley’s fluid handwriting, the looseness of his sketches, and the sweeping curves of his metalwork.
