Flying Solo and Parsons Strengthen Their Commitment to Emerging Fashion Talent During NYFW.
Flying Solo is proud to continue its long-standing collaboration with Parsons School of Design, one of the world’s leading institutions for art and design education. Built over years of partnership, the relationship reflects a shared commitment to supporting and nurturing the next generation of fashion talent.
This season, the collaboration is highlighted through a special New York Fashion Week presentation bringing together two innovative brands, demonstrating the power of creative partnership and the importance of providing emerging designers with meaningful industry exposure.
“we are excited for this partnership and looking forward to see new talents in our Flying Solo Community”, mentioned Co-founder Elizabeth Solomeina.
Over the years, Parsons students and alumni have been given unique opportunities to engage directly with the professional fashion landscape through Flying Solo’s platform. By bridging education and industry, the partnership helps young designers gain firsthand experience, visibility, and access to a global network of buyers, media, and fashion professionals.
“We are honored to be partnering again with Flying Solo as it affords our students an invaluable opportunity and platform to showcase their work. Our students design through the lens of inclusivity, craft and social justice and to be able to bring their voices to New York Fashion Week is a once-in-a-lifetime experience“, said John Bartlett, Director of Corporate Partnerships and Special Projects at Parsons School of Design.
As Flying Solo continues to champion independent fashion on an international scale, collaborations with institutions such as Parsons remain central to its mission of creating pathways for emerging talent. Through runway presentations, retail opportunities, and industry mentorship, Flying Solo remains committed to helping the next generation of designers transform their vision into thriving fashion businesses.
For aspiring designers, these initiatives offer a glimpse into the possibilities that exist beyond graduation and the opportunities available through one of New York’s most dynamic independent fashion platforms:
