Industry Partnerships

FIDM Footwear Design Students participated in a partnership between FIDM and Brown Shoe Company, which mentored FIDM Footwear Students as a way of giving back to the shoe design community. As a part of their projects, the FIDM Students met with representatives from Brown's Product Development, Style and Trend, Marketing, and Public Relations departments to gain a thoroughly integrated understanding of the process of Footwear Design. Follow these highly motivated students through their exciting year-long program as they traveled to shoe factories in Italy and presented their designs to footwear execs.
