Parsons School of Design at The New School staged its 2025 BFA Fashion Runway Showcase inside the historic Barneys New York Downtown location. Titled A Common Thread, the event presented collections from 283 graduating seniors and marked the final public opening of the legendary Barneys building on 7th Avenue. Famed for its history of innovation, the venue served as a one-night platform for emerging design voices.

FASHION

This year’s show carried more weight than most. Beyond the sheer scale of student participation, A Common Thread symbolized a rare intersection of past and future. It was a runway presentation framed by history: the closure of an iconic fashion destination and the emergence of new creative voices ready to define the industry’s next phase. By staging the show at Barneys Downtown, Parsons honored the spirit of reinvention that both the brand and its students embody.

According to Anna Lerner-Zwick, Interim Program Director of BFA Fashion Design, “This year’s show marks a rare convergence of legacy and emergence.” Her statement reflects the guiding ethos of the event, one that acknowledges shared purpose while celebrating individual expression. The title, A Common Thread, pointed to a collective pulse that runs through the program’s diverse body of work, tying together identity, place, and time through garments and construction.

The 2025 graduating class showcased work that spanned disciplines, aesthetics, and techniques. From repurposed textiles and zero-waste silhouettes to hand-dyed materials and digital experimentation, the collections addressed themes of migration, healing, gender, climate collapse, and cultural memory. These weren’t just looks for the runway, they were commentaries, provocations, and personal archives rendered in fabric and form.

Beyond the creative output, the event functioned as both a goodbye and a beginning. Barneys New York Downtown, once synonymous with discovery and directional taste, is closing its doors for good. Parsons’ decision to host A Common Thread here imbued the presentation with a sense of spatial poetry, honoring what the venue represented while introducing a new generation of designers who may one day shape similar institutions themselves.

A Common Thread stood as a final chapter in Barneys’ legacy and a debut for 283 voices set to shift the fashion conversation. It was a farewell rooted in reverence and a runway charged with transformation, a living statement of what fashion can remember, and where it might go next.
