DEBUT is an annual celebration of students across multiple disciplines at FIDM.

Interior Design, Textile Design, and Fashion Design students collaborate in CHAIRING STYLES to create a textile, a chair, and a garment, the final reveal of which takes place at DEBUT.

Students from all majors have the opportunity to participate. Digital Media, Visual Communications, and Graphic Design students play major roles in the production of the event.
