Style Shop
The Merchandising Society, FIT's largest student club, operates our successful on-campus boutique, the Style Shop. Offering students, faculty, and alumni the opportunity to sell original creations on a consignment basis, the Style Shop also gives members valuable experience in buying, product development, marketing, finance, customer relations, customer service, management, visual merchandising, and sales.
Located in the heart of the fashion district at the Fashion Institute of Technology, The Style Shop was created by the Merchandising Society to provide students with “real world” retail experience. Students serve as buyers, managers, designers, retail sales associates, marketing, and other key industry roles. The shop curates designer, industry, home products, our store’s very own product development, and an assortment of must-have vintage products. Many of the products sold are designed and produced by FIT students, alumni, and faculty. Shop online for products found in our retail stores as well as on-line exclusives. All products purchased on-line are to be picked up at our retail shop. While you are picking up your product, shop in our actual brick and mortar retail store, located in the Dubinsky Center at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
