60th Annual Parsons' Benefit & Fashion Show exhibition is scheduled to be held on April 28, 2008 at Grand Hyatt New York.
Parsons' annual Benefit and Fashion Show is a black tie gala that raises funds for scholarships and academic programs at the school.
This year, Parsons will be honoring two powerhouses of the fashion industry at its event: CFDA President Diane von Furstenberg and Barneys New York Chairman and CEO Howard Socol.
A highlight of the event is a runway show featuring the top thesis collections of Parsons' graduating BFA Fashion Design students, including its Designers of the Year.
The Designer of the Year Award has launched the careers of such famous alumni as Marc Jacobs, Doo-Ri Chung and Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler.
