For over two decades, the Parsons Benefit has celebrated excellence in fashion, art, and design education. This year, it grows to reflect a new constellation of creative education that can only happen at The New School.
On November 17, Parsons School of Design, Mannes School of Music, the School of Jazz and Contemporary Music, and the School of Drama come together for a single night that reflects a new creative ecosystem. Now, our four world-class schools have a stage that matches the scale of what our incredible students and faculty have always achieved.
At this year’s New York Fashion Week, Stuart Vevers, Creative Director of , celebrated 85 years of the brand with a show and collection focused on what the future of the brand could be. Treating a milestone as a reason to look ahead, not back, is part of why we’re honored to celebrate him.
For more than a decade, Vevers has made the case that heritage and reinvention go hand in hand, reenergizing the legacy brand to resonate with lifelong customers and the next generation. Those beliefs are foundational to The New School and are a driving force behind the integration of Parsons, Mannes, Jazz, and Drama.
This November, we’re celebrating that.
