Brother International sponsors FIT’s show at NYFW

from FIT’s inaugural Master of Fine Arts class in Fashion Design at Pier
59. The looks spotted on the runway by the Fine Art of Fashion and

The multinational electrical equipment company donated a number of SE600

to make final preparations to their designs for the show. Brother

“We at Brother believe very much in supporting education and in leading
efforts to promote the work of students. New York Fashion Week is a major
spotlight opportunity for these upcoming fashion designers and we hope that
by continuing to support events like this and donating Brother machines, we
will encourage the designers of the future to further develop their work
and display their creativity,” said Jim Price, Senior Director of
Marketing, of the Brother Home Appliance Division.

Brother’s other fashion-related partnerships include sponsoring the
