FOR THE RECORD: Runway Show,

About the event

Founded by four dedicated design students, DIALECTIVE works in pursuit of creating and exploring narratives within our cultural phenomena, particularly surrounding the intersections of fashion, art, and society. Finding inspiration in resistance, DIALECTIVE never underestimates the power of unity.

This year’s theme, FOR THE RECORD, positions DIALECTIVE not just as a platform but as an archivist of its own history. We look forward by ensuring that what we make now will be remembered, referenced, and built upon by future cohorts.

Functioning as a 501c3 nonprofit, we invest in upcoming graduates entering the industry and newly emerging designers.

We continue our impact for post-grads as a C-Corp with showrooms scheduled during NYFW and additional opportunities for existing members of DIALECTIVE. 

Why should you sponsor?

1. Increase brand visibility across our social platforms and among 300+ industry professionals, press, and fashion students.

2. Help to launch the next generation of New York talent by bringing 20 graduating BFA designers’ collections to life on a professional runway.

3. A proven track record — brands including Coach New York and Liquid Death have partnered with Dialective since our inaugural runway show in 2023.
