The future of fashion

A Vogue campaign made by ASU talent, from first sketch to finished page.

Made by students and alumni. At every stage.

Before the cameras, before the lights, before the page in Vogue, there was the work.


Quincy Figallo, ’26 BA fashion (design), created the structural dress at the heart of the campaign in the school's Los Angeles studios — and sharpened her craft at a working atelier in the city.

Camille Misty, ’25 BFA photography, spent four years photographing ASU FIDM work as a student. For this campaign, she returned to shoot the Vogue ad itself.

Raini-Skye Rogers, ’23 BSD graphic design, began working with ASU’s Brand team as a student. Now a full-time designer at ASU, she created the final Vogue ad.

Different disciplines working together for one campaign.

At ASU FIDM, creative work does not stay in one lane. Fashion students, photographers, designers, stylists, faculty and industry professionals work together, shaping ideas until they are ready for the world.

The work happens at a school recognized for the nation’s top emerging fashion talent

For two years in a row, ASU FIDM was named the No. 2 school in the nation for Fashion Scholarship Fund awardees, ahead of FIT, Parsons and UCLA.

The fund recognizes promising students across design, merchandising, marketing, product development and business strategy. At ASU FIDM, students are building the creative work, strategic thinking and professional confidence to be noticed beyond the classroom and shape what comes next.

A dress does not arrive in Vogue by accident

It passes through hands: the designer’s, the stylist’s, the photographer’s, the art director’s, the people checking fit, light, movement and meaning. On this set, ASU students could see that entire chain up close — and join it.

Students worked inside the process

On set, the classroom was not separate from the industry. It was part of it.

Students watched the pace of a professional shoot. They saw how a stylist reads proportion, movement and detail. They saw how a photographer directs a model. They saw how hair, makeup, lighting, garment construction and graphic design all shape the final image.

Mentorship matters

Fashion is talent. It is also training, feedback, timing, relationships and the ability to keep working when the details get demanding.

At ASU FIDM, students learn from people who know the industry because they have worked in it, shaped it and continue to move through it. For this campaign, students were surrounded by faculty and professionals who understand what it takes to make creative work land.

The opportunity for our students to participate in a photoshoot like this is a wonderful experience for them to have, providing top-level industry exposure. We know that when they get on a set in a job or internship, they already understand how a shoot like this works and what they should be doing. It helps them get on the right foot for future opportunities.

Looks debuted in LA and Phoenix

The garments came from students in Los Angeles and Phoenix; many debuted at the spring fashion shows in both cities.

ASU FIDM places students within a two-city creative ecosystem, allowing them to move between the two and take advantage of the best of both: Los Angeles industry energy and Phoenix innovation culture.

In LA, students are connected to the pace, proximity and creative network of a global fashion capital. In Phoenix, they are part of ASU’s larger innovation ecosystem, where design can intersect with technology, sustainability, entrepreneurship and social impact.

Great creativity doesn't live in a bubble. What's so special about ASU FIDM students is the breadth of background and the diversity of ideas. Our students are creating work of the caliber that should absolutely appear in the pages of Vogue.

It's really amazing seeing a photo shoot like this for Vogue take place. I was really excited that my piece was chosen for this. I worked hard on it, and so this is a really proud moment for me.
