LIM’s annual student-produced fashion show will be held April 19 at 6 p.m. at New York City’s famed Glasshouse, at 660 12th Ave.
The show, which is planned, produced, and executed entirely by students, will be aimed at uplifting emerging New York City designers, especially those who design with diversity and inclusivity in mind.
