Fashion Show Production Club
"With the hands-on experience you get—whether it's with the tech team, or photography, or designers, or running to the showrooms, or how I'm creating the display—you're really immersed in every aspect of the show."

NRFSA (National Retail Federation Student Association)

Fashion Design Club
"The Fashion Design Club is for anyone and everyone, no matter the skill level! It provides a space for LIM students to practice their sewing and design skills, as well as to showcase them. The club has had many opportunities that aspiring designers can wait years for, including exhibiting designs in a fashion show and getting critiques from professional designers."
Miranda Martinez ('27)
Fashion Design Club President
Nicole Miller gave feedback on the club’s designs for the 2025 Fashion Show!
Sustainability Club
“The Sustainability Club’s focus is showing peers how easy it is to adopt sustainable practices in their everyday lives. We’ve hosted clothing swaps, provided composting bins, and even taught students how to easily mend clothing so they last longer. Where better to start inspiring positive change in the fashion industry than within our community!”
Savannah Foley ('21 / MPS '25)
Sustainability Club Advisor

Student Leadership Council
“The Student Leadership Council is a student-led body that creates space for collaboration, advocacy, and leadership development among the student population. It gives us the chance to build community, share ideas, and make a real impact on campus while growing both personally and professionally.”
Sakshi Dalmia ('26)
Student Leadership Council President
Cosmetics Club
"Our club is for beauty lovers and students interested in the cosmetic industry. It is really important for us to emphasize that we don't just ‘do makeup’; we are involved in the business behind it. We also get to work on a lot of fun things, like organizing panels and working on photoshoots."
Emily Abate (‘21)
Manager of Social Media & Influencer Marketing at AAVRANI
LGBTQ+ Alliance
"This club brings people together and lets them be themselves. It highlights authenticity and pride within the queer community."
