#FITGrad
Two FIT alums. One custom gown. A lifelong friendship.�
For Anne Hathaway’s 2026 Met Gala custom Collection look, Michael tapped fellow FIT alum, longtime friend, and renowned artist Peter McGough to create a one-of-a-kind painting on the sculptural black gown.

Hand-painted over the course of 60 hours, the gown features motifs inspired by John Keats’ poem “Ode on a Grecian Urn.”

#FITNYC
NEW! Have you ever wondered what your fellow alums get up to after they graduate? Us too! That’s why we’re launching a new social series, “Day in the Life of an FIT Alum,” and we’re kicking it off with Daniel Saponaro, AAS Fashion Design ‘02. Daniel is the designer behind Hutch, a contemporary womenswear brand known for garments that are as functional as they are luxe.

Take a peek into Daniel’s day in the Hutch offices and showroom on Fashion Avenue, located in the center of the Garment District—just a few blocks from FIT.

After gaining technical mastery of principles he still uses today, Daniel founded his label in 2010. Since then, Hutch has become a beloved brand at retailers nationwide—you can find Hutch at Anthropologie, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and on the brand’s website.

The brand’s effortlessly feminine, size-inclusive designs all start as sketches by Daniel himself, who believes that every woman deserves an “I feel pretty” moment. With bold colors and prints, Daniel’s infectious positivity shines through the collections of dresses, swimwear, and bridal ensembles that emphasize the individuality and spirit of the women wearing it.

At FIT, the dining hall doubles as a catwalk. Students gather to study, laugh, sip elaborate Starbucks creations, and eat the surprisingly delicious fare—all while serving up inimitable style. For Hue magazine, Amy Lombard (Photography ’12,) captured this spectacular combination of food, fashion, and fun. Lombard is a rising star in the photography world, having shot for GQ, HBO, and Coca-Cola. Recently she photographed Bad Bunny’s Puerto Rico residency for The New York Times, and in 2024, she was nominated for a James Beard Award for documenting food culture.
