DEBUT RUNWAY SHOW

DEBUT 2023 Runway Show at the Cooper Design Space - Student Designer Jacob Yadidi

FIDM's Annual DEBUT Runway Show features designs by graduating students in the Advanced Study Fashion Design program. Produced and filmed by FIDM Productions at the Cooper Design Space in Downtown Los Angeles, the DEBUT Runway Show is a culmination of nine months of intensive theoretical research, advanced fashion construction, and collection development, led by Fashion Design Co-Chairs Nick Verreos and David Paul.

Each Advanced Study Fashion Design student works closely with dedicated instructors in a professional studio environment using live fit models. Emphasis is placed on creating a cohesive capsule collection based on a creative thought process, proper fabrications, and market analysis.

DEBUT is broadcast to the industry and the public and streamed year-round on monitors throughout the campus. Digital Media and Digital Cinema program students gain on-set experience in the production of the show under the supervision of Department Chair, Gene LeBrock.
