Legacy FIDM alumni, faculty and staff: How to expand your network with ASU
In 2023, Arizona State University—ranked No. 1 in the U.S. for innovation, sustainability and global impact—expanded its fashion program to Los Angeles, becoming ASU FIDM, the fashion school in ASU’s Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts. With vibrant hubs in downtown Los Angeles and Phoenix, ASU FIDM offers fashion degrees at both the bachelor’s and associate levels, continuing FIDM’s mission of preparing students for successful careers in the industry.
The legacy of FIDM is shaped by generations of talent who continue to make their mark on the industry. Whether you’re a former FIDM student, alum, faculty or staff member—you’re invited to expand your network and join our community.
