One of the benefits of being a member of a network of more than 40,000 graduates of FIDM/Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising is participating in the networking events and mixers hosted by the FIDM Alumni Association. This year, the annual holiday parties, hosted at venues like the Ritz-Carlton at L.A. Live in Los Angeles, and The Russian Tea Room in New York, welcomed hundreds of FIDM Alumni.
Guests enjoyed cocktails, music and food (and even a photo booth at the Los Angeles party… check out my photo with FIDM Graphic Design/Branding Alumna Kristin Finch, below/right) while socializing and networking with special guests like FIDM President Tonian Hohberg.
Check out some photos below of Graphic Design Alumni, photographed at the Los Angeles Chapter and New York Chapter holiday parties. Some of the graduates shown below include recent Graphic Design/Entertainment Alumna, Angelica Raquid (designer at The Cimarron Group), Graphic Design/Branding Alumnus, Ryan McKay (head designer/founder at Recreate Media), FIDM San Francisco Graphic Design/Branding Alumnus, Daniel Santos (senior visual designer at HUGE, Inc.), and Graphic Design/Branding Alumnus, Jeff Poulin (senior creative manager, global creative at Marvel Entertainment, Inc.).
