New York Fashion Week (NYFW) is a make-or-break event for dozens of fashion designers and brands, but for students at LIM College, it can also be a ticket to career-building connections and work experiences in the fashion industry. During New York Fashion Week in February 2026, more than 60 LIM students were seemingly everywhere… rehearsing runway formations alongside legendary show producers, steaming gowns moments before showtime, sourcing flowers for pre-show brunches, organizing garment racks backstage, capturing behind-the-scenes content and helping to perfect the grand finale.One brand that enlisted the help of many LIM students was Michael Kors. Among many other roles, LIM students assisted the Kors production team by acting as stand-ins during run-throughs to help perfect timing, lighting, pacing, music cues and camera angles.Fashion Marketing major Alina Joy reveled in the moment, saying, “We acted as the models and walked the runway with the music — and on the second day, we walked for Michael Kors himself!”Fashion Merchandising major Amora Isonguyo worked behind the scenes for Australian-based fashion label Bronx & Banco, organizing and packaging model outfits ahead of show day. When the moment arrived, she dressed models and captured behind-the-scenes media — blending styling, logistics and content creation into one fast-paced experience. LIM students who volunteered at Fashion Week events took on real responsibilities and made important connections. These future fashion professionals saw firsthand how creative vision becomes an executable strategy, how designers rely on teams, and how every detail, no matter how small, shapes that final moment on the runway.
