Description
The Fashion Design department at Pratt Institute, located in Brooklyn, NY, is creating a pool of applicants for the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 semesters to join our part-time faculty community.
At Pratt, we define fashion practice as cultural messaging through clothes. Students contextualize fashion within a social framework and through rigorous attention to production, craft, and contemporary aesthetics.
Devoted to a creative learning community, Pratt recognizes the strength that stems from a diversity of perspectives, ideas, backgrounds, approaches and experiences. We aspire to continue to grow as a place that always welcomes and encourages individuals of all backgrounds to contribute to and be part of the Pratt community.
