Lonely Planet review

The Fashion Institute of Technology is a fashion, design and fine arts school located on the edge of Manhattan's Fashion District . The best way for a visitor to access its unique riches is to visit its museum, which showcases rotating exhibits on fashion and style, including works by students.

Its new permanent collection, opened in late 2005, is the country's first gallery of fashion and textile history; it showcases rotating items from its collection of more than 50,000 garments and accessories dating from the 18th century to the present.
