It isn\u2019t as far-fetched as it seems. In fact, Disney came to FIT last summer with a design challenge for our students to create modern interpretations of costumes that might be worn by some of Disney on Broadway\u2019s iconic female characters. Ten fashion design students were declared winners and it was their designs that were on display in this exhibit.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/is79Cfa1_sg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The opening reception drew a lively crowd from the FIT and Disney communities including the lead actresses from six productions who arrived early for a press preview and lingered as long as they could before rushing back to their respective theaters.

Nala and Rafiki from The Lion King, Elsa and Anna from Frozen, Belle from Beauty and the Beast and Mary Poppins were among the \u201cleading ladies\u201d who got a refreshed wardrobe. The students were all third or fourth year fashion design majors and each received $3500 in prize money and $1000 to purchase materials for their costumes. This entire experience has been a \u201conce in a lifetime\u201d event for them\u2014a dream come true. Annette Stone, a fourth year student from California who designed for Jasmine in Aladdin, spoke on behalf of all of the students and described what the experience has meant to them. \u201cWe are so unbelievably grateful to both FIT and Disney for giving us this opportunity and platform to share with the world our designs,\u201d she said. \u201cYou have given us a voice as designers\u2026I know that for each of us, there are hundreds of people believing in us, and whether or not it was true before, it certainly is true now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For me, it was gratifying to hear her tribute to FIT and to the professors in the fashion design program. \u201cOur fashion program truly is the best,\u201d she said.\u201d Our professors go above and beyond\u2026 coming in on weekends, staying well after class hours, answering countless emails, and being true mentors when navigating this industry.\u201d Also speaking at the reception was Professor Gerard Dellova, one of two faculty mentors for the project, who praised the students for their hard work and the way in which they bonded as a community over the summer, despite the pressure of producing the polished, professional costumes being showcased and celebrated in this exhibition.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"500\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:71,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/blog.fitnyc.edu\\\/onmymind\\\/2019\\\/10\\\/14\\\/disney-at-fit\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:67257096}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 230px;\" data-original-width=\"500\" data-original-height=\"230\" > <div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 184px; height: 230px;\" data-original-width=\"184\" data-original-height=\"230\" > <div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-small\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"> <meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"180\"> <meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"226\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" data-attachment-id=\"1167\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/onmymind\/files\/2019\/10\/1176895869.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"3313,4170\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"Disney On Broadway X FIT\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/onmymind\/files\/2019\/10\/1176895869-238x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/onmymind\/files\/2019\/10\/1176895869-814x1024.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/onmymind\/files\/2019\/10\/1176895869.jpg?w=180&#038;h=226&#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/onmymind\/files\/2019\/10\/1176895869.jpg 3313w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/onmymind\/files\/2019\/10\/1176895869-238x300.jpg 238w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/onmymind\/files\/2019\/10\/1176895869-768x967.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/onmymind\/files\/2019\/10\/1176895869-814x1024.jpg 814w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/onmymind\/files\/2019\/10\/1176895869-19x24.jpg 19w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/onmymind\/files\/2019\/10\/1176895869-29x36.jpg 29w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/onmymind\/files\/2019\/10\/1176895869-38x48.jpg 38w\" width=\"180\" height=\"226\" loading=\"lazy\" data-original-width=\"180\" data-original-height=\"226\" itemprop=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" title=\"Disney On Broadway X FIT\" alt=\"student with mannequin\" style=\"width: 180px; height: 226px;\" \/> <div class=\"tiled-gallery-caption\" itemprop=\"caption description\"> NEW YORK, NEW YORK &#8211; SEPTEMBER 24: Sooyoung Yun attends Disney On Broadway X FIT on September 24, 2019 in New York City.
