The Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) is once again positioning itself as the nexus between creativity and technology by presenting this year’s annual graduating students runway show in three formats:  live, webcast—and in a fully immersive, stereoscopic 3D simulcast. This will be the first time that a New York runway show has been produced in 3D and the second time any runway show has been presented in 3D.  (Burberry Prorsum’s fall 2010 collection, shown in the U.K., was the first.)

The Future of Fashion will be viewed by a live audience on Monday, April 26, at 4:30 pm and again at 7:30 pm in FIT’s John E. Reeves Great Hall.  An overflow crowd will experience a 3D stereo simulcast in FIT’s Haft Auditorium at 4:30 and 7:30 pm.

3D stereoscopic production is by UVPHACTORY’s Dimitris Athos, 3D stereoscopic producer.

For those not able to be at FIT, the 7:30 pm show will be streamed live on the web at www.fitnyc.edu/futureoffashion.

The Future of Fashion is a professionally produced runway show with an array of fashion-forward garments, including sportswear, special occasion, knitwear, intimate apparel, menswear, and children’s wear designed for fall 2010 by FIT’s graduating Fashion Design students. Leading design and media professionals attend to see the creative vision of FIT’s top fashion design talent.

Public admittance to the fashion show is by invitation only, and the 3D simulcast is open only to the FIT community. However, all are invited to see The Future of Fashion live on the web at www.fitnyc.edu/futureoffashion.
