About

Welcome to 560, The School of Fashion magazine, reporting on happenings in and around Parsons.  So many notable names in fashion got their start at our main campus here on Seventh Avenue – what you may not know is that over 1300 students are here studying not only fashion design but marketing, merchandising and fashion culture and society in the new MFA program. With multi-layered external projects and competitions, students compete in real world design challenges for some of the biggest names in global fashion and retailing.

560 is for students, faculty, alumni and fans of the school. We hope you enjoy your visit and find inspiration in our work. If you would like to be in touch with the magazine, you may email 560events@newschool.edu. Otherwise, visit our main website for school and program information at Parsons, The School of Fashion. Be sure to give us your feedback on the blog postings, become a fan of our Facebook page and check back often.
