The LIM Fashion Show

The annual LIM fashion show is produced entirely by students and is a cornerstone of the College’s experiential learning philosophy grounded in “learning by doing.” The show is a unique, cross-program collaboration across five student clubs that allows students from all disciplines to gain experience in the production of a professional-level fashion show.


All clubs are supported by a LIM College administrative leadership team that is responsible for coordinating the efforts between clubs, securing event sponsorship, identifying industry mentors and partners, and bringing in VIP guests from industry.
