On Wednesday, May 10, Pratt Institute will introduce a year's worth of creative work by the talented students in Pratt's Fashion Design Department at the annual Pratt Fashion Show.
Pratt will honor designer Diane von Furstenberg at this year's show, which will begin at 5:30 p.m. at The Manhattan Center, located at 311 West 34th Street.
The Pratt Fashion Show will feature the students' best designs, pre-selected by a panel of fashion industry critics, across several categories of apparel including women's, men's, children's, evening, bridal, sportswear, lingerie, lounge, resort, and costume design.
"The Pratt Fashion Show promises to showcase designs that will define the direction of the fashion industry's future," says Rosie DePasquale, chair of the Pratt Fashion Design Department.
"The students have been working relentlessly to ensure that the work on stage illustrates the talent and drive they embrace as young, fresh designers.
The support of an icon such as Diane von Furstenberg provides a tremendous amount of inspiration to the students and reminds them of what can be achieved with dedication to the art of fashion design."

Designed with the fun, colour and passion that life offers in mind, omondieu!'s saucy line of floral jewelry has been making waves with the style set since its inception in 2004.
Worn by such celebrities as Lenny Kravitz, Nicole Ritchie, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck of The View, omondieu! has generated major buzz from Hollywood to Berlin - and everywhere in between.
"There is a hint of romantic, a touch of being free, and yes, bold and daring femininity in our lines," says founder and lead designer Angela Gwinner.
"We are designers, but foremost women who believe in making statements.
It's a reflection of the self and, more so, a reflection of lifestyle."
As a Canadian currently residing in Germany, Angela is inspired by secret gardens the world over with all omondieu! rings handmade in Europe.
Bringing with her a Canadian sense of natural beauty and relaxed style, Angela's jewelry translates into chic and unique creations - from elegant silk poppies in pink and red affixed to rings to wild dahlia brooches.

Donna Karan was born to be a designer and she fought against failure to be one.
"They said if I was going to be an illustrator, I'd go to the Fashion Institute of Technology, and if I was going to be a fashion designer, I'd go to Parsons," she told an audience at the Parsons New School for Design.
"So I went to Women's Wear Daily and asked them, 'Could I have a summer job?' I was dismissed very quickly.
[The head of WWD] says, 'My darling, you just absolutely do not know how to sketch.
So I highly recommend you choose another field.'
Well, I was mortified about that… because I really thought I was a brilliant illustrator, as I still do."
