STREET STYLE: FIDM SUMMER EDITION
EFFORTLESS CHIC
COLORFUL MULTI-PRINTS
If there's one thing I am certain about attending FIDM, it is the fact that everyday is a friggin FASHION SHOW. There's just something about being in a creative environment that makes one want to put a little more "effortless" jazz in our wardrobe. Above are some call outs from this past summer that the FIDM digital team shot. Color is of course a stand-out but add a playful mixed pattern for an updated cool, summer look. Then my all time favorite, the business-casual rock-style where a cropped bomber or fitted blazer over jeans just completely pulls together a chic 'oh I just totally rolled out of bed looking this fabulous' look. You can find more inspiring outfit ideas on the official FIDM Flickr page here.

"Let's Be Honest Here...FIDM Isn't All That Great!!"
**[okay, you know fidmlife isn't all happy go lucky, right? we started this blog to document the good, the bad, and the ugly. well, here's a blog rant from a fellow fidm student.]**
I’m going to keep it so real with all of ya’ll for a second. Tonight’s rant is going to be about FIDM and my experience, as well as my friends experiences.
Listen up…here’s my story and some advice for anyone who plans on attending fidm or is attending fidm or just graduated from this school.
I left community college to pursue my passion for all things related to fashion. At the time i didn’t know exactly what i wanted to do, but all i knew was that i wanted to work in the fashion industry. The only schools i knew and were familiar with and catered to my interests were The Art Institutes, The Academy of Art University and the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. (Mainly West coast schools). I ultimately decided to go with FIDM.

FIDM Graduation 2012: What Do I Wear?
I'm so excited to be graduating finally with my Beauty Degree- but I don't necessarily consider myself too fashionable. I think this may be my last FIDM life post, since I am graduating, but for more of me, you can always follow my blog, where I post all things beauty, for those interested!
Congratulations to other graduates, and I'd love to hear what everyone is wearing to graduation, or how decorating those cap and gowns are going! See you all at Staples Center June 16th! Farewell, FIDM!
Click here to help choose what I wear to graduation!

Temporis
Tonight, we are delighted to have been invited to the 68th Annual LIM College Fashion Show, ''Temporis,'' in New York City. The show is set to feature 30 student models wearing top fashion brands and designers as they come down a student designed runway.
Hosted by celebrity fashion stylist Phillip Bloch, the show is produced in its entirety by the Fashion Show Production Club with help from the Styling and Visual Merchandising Clubs.
Proceeds from this event will benefit the LIM Fashion Education Foundation (FEF), an organization that provides financial support to students pursuing an education to further their careers in the fashion industry.
We can't wait! Expect a full report tomorrow!!

A Note from Benni Harding
We appreciate any student taking the time to share an opinion and we do value student concerns. Constructive feedback is key in all good relationships.
We read your blog post and would like to correct some misinformation regarding our competitiveness with other colleges, our instructors' academic and career qualifications, our students' and graduates' ability to compete in the workforce with other college graduates, transferable credits of curriculum, as well as the value and quality of a specialized curriculum.
Some examples: In one of the majors, about 70% of the instructors have master's degrees. As a private, for profit college, FIDM is not publicly traded as other colleges that have been negatively profiled recently in the press. As far as transferability of courses, students choose FIDM precisely because of the specialized curriculum which may include courses that are not offered at other colleges. For this reason, some major courses cannot transfer, not because they don't meet baccalaureate requirements, but because there are no equivalent courses existing in the curriculum of other colleges.
As a graduate of FIDM, you have full access to the Alumni Association which offers a Job Search with a dedicated team of Career Advisors who cultivate job leads and assist graduates in launching and evolving their career identities. We're proud to say that over 90% of our graduates (in all majors) who utilize the Career Center find employment within six months of graduation. Also, for peer-to-peer networking opportunities, the Alumni Association has 36 Alumni chapters, as well as the Dialogue alumni magazine, LiveWire newsletter, and other resources, which I hope you'll utilize. FIDM's blueprint is tried and true. If a student does their coursework and takes advantage of all the available resources, they have every opportunity to succeed.
If you have spoken to any administrator and you feel have been disregarded, that is not our intention. Let’s try again.
We would like the opportunity to meet with you in person to address the concerns expressed in your blog post. In regards to complaints of any kind, we have an open door policy here at FIDM. In fact, my door is open to you and any student here at FIDM.
We can assure you, after you meet with appropriate staff members, your pride will be sky high!

In response to Waiting for Superman...
Dear readers,
I have been getting comments and emails regarding our previous post entitled "Waiting for Superman". The entry was sent to me anonymously by a current Advanced Study student who is in the process of transferring schools. As a previous student and grad, I could understand the frustrations and I felt it was something that should to be heard. However, it is not my intention to draw any backlash towards FIDM. I very much still believe in FIDM and what our school stands for. I started this blog to give students a voice--good, bad, or ugly--it has to be heard. I just hope you take the information and use it well. Please take your time to read my response to "Waiting for Superman" via Post FIDM Life.
Best,
thefidmlife Founder
